Meet your instructor
Hi, I am Leanna and I am an Ontario College of Teachers certified French Immersion teacher. With a lifelong passion for cooking, I am currently completing a Diploma in Vegetarian cooking at George Brown College. Bistro des Enfants was born in 2020, out of the need for engaging French as a Second Language programming to be delivered virtually. I designed and ran virtual cooking classes for kids in French. With the ability to deliver in-person classes, I am so excited to launch our in person cohorts!
