French Country Cooking
<Le Formation de la Cuisine du Sud-Ouest et Provence>
Whether you are a seasoned chef or new to the world of cooking, planning and realizing a multi-course dinner can be daunting. Join us Saturday, November 5th, at the “L’Atelier” (cooking workshop) where we’ll journey through rural France as we create a gastronomique meal. You’ll learn the basics of “mise en place,” as well as other trucs (Chef’s tricks) to ensure your dinner comes off as a performance of perfection….stress free.

We're nearly ready for our class, next weekend! Here's the outline of what we're planning to tackle. Of course the day will start with a traditional French hot chocolate, appropriate for our fall weather. By 9:30 AM we'll be cooking! The most important trait of a good chef is to always "taste," "gouter gouter gouter." So there will be plenty of opportunity to enjoy your creative efforts through the day.
Through the day you’ll learn the how and why of Mise en Place and to approach upcoming dinner parties stress-free, like a pro. Our menu will be designed to show a complete approach to a tasteful and balanced classic gastronomic adventure…from aperitifs and amuse bouche through dessert. Perfect for anyone anticipating holiday parties or opening a B & B…determined to make that perfect impression.
We’ll provide all the usual ingredients and equipment for your adventure. You’re welcome to bring your own knives if desired. Our program and kitchen workshop is designed for small groups who want to experience a very personal, yet intense approach to learning classic cuisine. We'll be enjoying a late lunch around 3 PM and should be cleaned up, with take home product and memories ready to go about 5 PM.
Our classes are limited to ten (10) students so please sign up soon for this wonderful experience in wine country! (4 seats currently available)
