Overview

Discover the quiet elegance of French cuisine in this immersive class led by Chef Catalina. Through time-honored techniques and thoughtfully selected ingredients, you’ll create a menu that reflects the depth and charm of France’s culinary heritage.

Begin with a traditional French onion soup, slowly simmered to draw out deep sweetness, finished with toasted baguette and melted Gruyère. Continue with coq au vin—chicken gently braised in red wine with lardons, potatoes, and carrots—followed by a rustic ratatouille of summer vegetables and fresh thyme. For dessert, prepare delicate crêpes Suzette, flambéed in citrus butter and Grand Marnier.

Guests are welcome to bring wine or beer to complement the experience. Whether you're refining your skills or beginning your journey in French cooking, this evening promises warmth, technique, and timeless flavor.
