Luxembourgish cooking class — Luxembourg's Classic Feast
The cuisine most people live next to but never cook. Your team is about to change that.
For a country at the crossroads of France, Germany, and Belgium, Luxembourg has its own deeply rooted food culture — and most people, even long-term residents, have never cooked it—making this cooking class Luxembourg experience genuinely unique. Chef Corrie Baier changes that in 90 minutes. Your team cooks Judd mat Gaardebounen (the national dish), Gromperekichelcher (the beloved potato fritters), and Quetschentaart (the classic plum tart). It's a local culinary education that no restaurant dinner can replicate.

What you'll cook
Judd mat Gaardebounen — the national dish
Smoked collar of pork slow-cooked with broad beans and a rich, aromatic broth. Hearty, unfamiliar to most, and deeply satisfying — a dish with centuries of Luxembourgish history in every bite.
Crispy Gromperekichelcher potato fritters
The golden potato fritters sold at every Luxembourg Schueberfouer and national fair. Deceptively simple to describe, surprisingly rewarding to perfect. Teams master the technique together.
Quetschentaart — Luxembourg plum tart
The traditional Luxembourg plum tart — seasonal, buttery, and unmistakably local. A perfect sweet finale and a dessert skill worth bringing home.

What teams say
“I love cooking, but I'd never made Thai before, and honestly I had no idea how it would turn out with all these ingredients I'd never worked with. That was half the fun — you're genuinely surprised by what you've made. And Corrie kept the whole room laughing the entire time. It never felt like a lesson, it felt like a really good night with the team.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes Luxembourgish cuisine surprising?
Most people — including many Luxembourg residents — have never cooked traditional Luxembourgish food. The cuisine is hearty, deeply rooted in rural and seasonal traditions, and almost entirely unfamiliar to non-nationals. That discovery is what makes this class special, especially for international teams based in Luxembourg.
What are the signature dishes?
Judd mat Gaardebounen (smoked collar of pork with broad beans) is Luxembourg's national dish. Gromperekichelcher are crispy potato fritters sold at every national fair. Quetschentaart is the traditional plum tart. Together they tell the story of a small country's big food culture.
Is this suitable for expat teams?
It's our top recommendation for teams with many international members based in Luxembourg. Cooking the national dishes gives expats a genuine cultural connection that a dinner reservation simply cannot provide.
Who is Chef Corrie Baier?
Chef Corrie holds a Diploma in Professional Thai Cuisine and is deeply versed in multiple cuisines, including Luxembourgish traditions. Based in Germany and regularly teaching in Luxembourg, she brings a fun, relaxed energy that makes even unfamiliar cuisines feel immediately accessible.
Can vegetarians participate?
Yes — Gromperekichelcher and Quetschentaart are both vegetarian. A vegetarian adaptation of the main dish is also available on request.
Where does this Luxembourgish cooking class take place?
The class is held at Kachatelier, a fully equipped culinary venue in Luxembourg. It's an ideal setting for a corporate event Luxembourg teams will remember, offering a hands-on cultural experience that goes well beyond a typical office outing or restaurant dinner.
How does this cooking class Luxembourg experience work for corporate teams?
This session is fully managed for groups of 8–40 at Kachatelier. Your team arrives, is divided into cooking stations, and learns to prepare three national dishes under Chef Corrie Baier's guidance. All ingredients, equipment, and instruction are provided—you simply show up. The 90-minute format fits easily into a team day or off-site, and the shared cooking and tasting create natural conversation and connection. It's designed specifically for corporate groups who want a memorable, hands-on Luxembourg experience without logistical complexity.
