Cooking Class: Classic French à la Julia Child
Under the guidance of a local chef, you'll recreate three classic French dishes inspired by Child's recipes.
Start the class by caramelizing onions until brown and tender. Add it to a simmering savory broth to make French onion soup, topped with soft croûtons and creamy Gruyère cheese. Next, learn the technique to braise chicken in a rich red wine sauce with mushrooms and onions to make a classic coq au vin. Finally, end the class with sweet crêpes Suzette for dessert. You'll master the art of flambéeing crêpes before drizzling them in a vibrant orange and citrus sauce. Explore the flavors of classic French cuisine when you book a spot in this cooking class today!
