Learn how to make three delicious French courses in this cooking class with Chef Mathieu!
Begin the class by caramelizing onions until soft and golden brown and simmering a savory sauce for a classic French onion soup. Top it with fresh Gruyère cheese before serving. Next, you'll have your choice of main course. Either a tender coq au vin, a chicken dish cooked alongside mushrooms and herbs and made with a rich red wine. Or a savory beef bourguignon with aromatic herbs and rich red wine sauce. End the meal by transforming seasonal fruit into sweet, flaky tarts filled with pastry cream for the perfect decadent dessert. Book this cooking class today!

Chef Mathieu was fantastic. He kept open communication before the event and was very flexible with getting set up at our location. He made our cooking experience a very memorable one by including all of us in different aspects of creating our meal and working with our dietary restrictions. He is a champ at making the process go as smooth as possible even with the bumps in the road such as our stove top shutting off several times. He always kept up good spirits and had us all enjoying the process. I would highly recommend him!
