Let’s take a stroll to Francoise’s charming local covered market in Paris where you can meet some of the friendly local producers she knows. As you wander through the market, you might find yourself stopping by the fishmonger for the freshest catch of the day, the fromagerie for a selection of delicious cheeses, and the produce store for the finest ingredients for your upcoming cooking class.
Once you’ve gathered all your goodies, it’s just a short walk back to Francoise’s beautiful apartment, which is lovingly adorned with treasures from her travels near and far. Join her in the cozy kitchen, where you can enjoy some cheese nibbles or snacks while learning to prepare a classic French main dish.
For the main course, you’ll have the option to create a mouthwatering feuilleté with leeks and shrimp in a ginger sauce, a succulent steak with a traditional French Béarnaise sauce, or a delightful poulet à l’estragon (chicken in a tarragon sauce). After putting your culinary skills to the test, you can sit down at the welcoming kitchen dining table to savor the delicious meal you’ve cooked together.
To top off your culinary experience, indulge in a traditional French dessert such as homemade strawberry tartelettes with a zesty lemon crust and Grand Marnier-infused crème pâtissière, or a heavenly île flottante – a delicate meringue floating on a bed of sweet custard. And of course, what better way to toast to a delightful meal than with a glass of Champagne in hand?
