As we focus on building your skills and learning techniques and recipes in this French bistro cooking class, the chef will select the menu before you arrive. Under your chef’s guidance, you will cook and feast on a 3-course menu of French bistro classics, served with plenty of bread and wine. While we will not be visiting the market in this class, all products used will be picked out by the chef and will be fresh and seasonal as always.
The chef will be with you every step of the way as you work together to prepare the meals and plate your dishes to look as good as they taste. After learning how to cook your bistro meal, you will, of course, get to enjoy all three courses with wine as a sit-down meal with your chef and classmates.
