Overview

Say bonjour to a cozy twist on French cuisine in this hands-on cooking class that captures the charm of the countryside and the finesse of French technique. With every chop, stir, and sizzle, you’ll craft a seasonal menu brimming with bright flavors and rustic elegance.

Under expert guidance, you’ll master the art of grilling perfectly flaky salmon finished with a velvety lemon-dill butter. Toss crisp green beans with the aromatic magic of Herbes de Provence, and build a salad that layers fennel, apple, and toasted hazelnuts into a symphony of texture. Finally, sink into the warm comfort of a golden-baked plum clafoutis—simple, stunning, and straight from a French farmhouse dream.

Whether you’re a Francophile foodie or just looking to elevate your home cooking, this class brings together good food, great company, and a little joie de vivre on every plate.
