Cooking Class: Make a Gourmet French Feast
The art of fine French cuisine comes to life in this hands-on cooking class from Chef Washington. Learn the fundamentals of creating your own delicious menu from the country where gourmet cuisine began.
Your lesson begins with authentic mini-croque monsieur made with eggs, ham, cheese and a generous spread of Dijon mustard. Then, you'll create a classic chicken fricassee surrounded by earthy root vegetables roasted until tender. You'll also prepare French crêpes with the addition of tomatoes, Brie cheese and shrimp and bake traditional apple tarts topped with crème fraîche for dessert.

Wonderful experience. Chef had 3 different ramens to taste. Don’t go into thinking you’ll cook everything yourself. This is an experience/social event that allows you to help cook. This is not a technical class. If you are interested in that you’ll need to book a more intimate experience.

Chef Washington was absolutely fantastic! He made our sushi-making experience fun, engaging, and memorable from start to finish. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming, making everyone feel comfortable and included throughout the class. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding, especially the fish, which was exceptionally fresh and delicious. The food exceeded our expectations, and everyone on our team loved not only learning new skills but also enjoying the amazing sushi we created together. Chef Washington's positive energy, expertise, and passion for what he does truly made the event special. We received so many great comments from participants afterward. I would highly recommend Chef Washington for anyone looking for a fun, interactive, and delicious team-building experience. Thank you for such a wonderful time! 😊🍣👏
