One of my students who attended the original 'French Bistro' class gave us an idea. He loved it so much, so why not do a sequel? The menu in this class is one step up from Bistro Fare.
In this hands-on class we will master:
The Appetizer
La Mouclade - Mussels with saffron Velouté
La Mouclade is a dish of mussels cooked mariniere style and then bathed in a saffron velouté that explodes with flavour.
The Main
Baked Mussel Appetiser
Poulet à la Dijonnaise - Dijon Chicken -Learn to braise chicken in a creamy sauce.
Pommes Mont D’OR - Piped Pureed Potatoes with a crispy crust
Lyonnaise Green Beans
Dessert - Crêpes Flambées - The iconic crêpes flambées are made à la minute, flambéed in a syrup of lemon and orange juice, sugar, Grand Marnier and cognac.
After the preparation, our chef instructors will plate the meal, and the students will be seated to enjoy their creations. During the meal, the student chefs will explain how they prepared their recipe so that everyone learns to make all the dishes. The recipes will be e-mailed to the students after the class.
Menu
The stated menu may differ due to seasonality, ingredient availability, and our creative impulses. However, the final menu will remain faithful to the course theme.
Class Time: 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm
