Formerly known as Cook’n With Class Uzès, Let’s Eat The World - Culinary Experiences for Travel Lovers continues the tradition of offering exceptional culinary adventures around the globe. Founded by Yetunde Oshodi-Fraudeau, a passionate food and travel expert, Let’s Eat The World builds on the success of the original Cook’n With Class brand, which started in 2007 in Paris. Our cooking classes, taught in English, have introduced countless tourists and locals to the art of French cuisine, from mastering traditional French baking to creating exquisite desserts and exploring bustling French markets.

In 2015, alongside her husband, Chef Eric Fraudeau, Yetunde expanded the Cook’n With Class brand to southern France with the opening of Cook’n With Class Uzès, focusing on Mediterranean and Provencal cuisine. This location quickly gained popularity with its hands-on French market classes and the beloved culinary holiday tour - A Week in Uzès.

In 2020, recognizing the desire for more diverse culinary experiences, Yetunde launched the new brand, Let’s Eat The World - Culinary Experiences for Travel Lovers. This rebranding marks an exciting evolution from a local cooking school to a global culinary adventure brand. Under Yetunde's leadership, Let’s Eat The World now offers a range of experiences, including vacation tours, masterclass workshops, and innovative private online cooking classes that bring the flavors of French, Mediterranean, and Spanish cuisine directly into your home.

Chef Eric Fraudeau serves as the head chef for our Uzès location and acts as the culinary advisor for all of our tours, ensuring that each culinary experience is rooted in authenticity and excellence.

Join us for unforgettable food and wine adventures, whether it's in Uzès, Paris, Seville, Spain, Parma, Italy, or Tbilisi, Georgia, with even more exciting destinations on the horizon.
