The French Fold

The French Fold was founded in Austin, Texas by Stéphanie, who brings the art of French cooking and culture to life through hands-on, joy-filled workshops. Born and raised in France, she grew up immersed in the rhythms of home cooking -- especially the simple pleasure of gathering around a pan to make warm, perfectly folded crêpes. After moving to Austin, recreating those familiar flavors and moments became a way to stay connected to her roots, and eventually inspired the creation of The French Fold.Long before it became a business, Stéphanie’s love of cooking was shaped by watching her grandmother cook with instinct and heart, turning the most humble ingredients into meals that brought everyone together -- loud, happy, and always welcoming! That sense of warmth, connection, and shared experience is at the center of every workshop. French crêpes are a perfect expression of that spirit: endlessly versatile, approachable, and full of possibility. At The French Fold, guests learn the small but meaningful techniques that elevate crêpes from good to truly special, building confidence they can carry back into their own kitchens.Teaching is core to The French Fold’s philosophy. Stéphanie holds a Ph.D. in Linguistics from The University of Texas at Austin and has years of experience designing engaging courses, workshops, and immersive learning experiences. She has also spent over six years working in the tech industry as a Localization Program Manager, making her especially skilled at leading groups and facilitating team-building events. Food-handling certified in the State of Texas, she brings care, organization, and professionalism to every experience -- welcoming beginners, food lovers, and the French-curious alike to cook, connect, and enjoy something truly memorable.
