École Ritz Escoffier: Pastry Masterclass

The Ritz's cooking school occupies the same kitchens where Auguste Escoffier — the father of modern French cuisine — once worked. That alone would make it worth visiting. But the pastry masterclass is genuinely excellent: three hours of croissant-making, guided by a chef who trained at the hotel, in a kitchen so beautiful you'll forget you're covered in flour.

You eat everything you make. And what you make is surprisingly good.
