Summer Cooking for Older Kids: French Cafe Fare

Join us for an evening reminiscent of sitting in a French cafe enjoying the delightful sights and sounds of Paris. We will use classic French recipes to craft both sweet and savory dishes. Whether you are preparing your child to fly the nest and want him to learn to make inexpensive, healthy meals, or whether you just want to hang out with her in a fun interactive setting, our Monday evening summer series is for you. Bon appétit!

Ages: This series is appropriate for children 12 or older coming alone, or adults coming with a child 10 or older.

Menu:
French Country Salad – Mixed salad greens with walnuts and goat cheese tossed in a lemon Dijon vinaigrette and topped with crispy bacon
Chicken and Spinach Crepes with a Guest-made Decadent Mushroom Bechamel Sauce
From Scratch Eclairs with Guest-made pastry cream and House-made Chocolate Ganache
Guest-made Pastry Cream for Eclairs

Pricing:
$65: per person
Chef’s Kitchen: Guests in the Chef’s Kitchen cook the same menu as the rest of the class; however, they use the gas cooktop and convection ovens in the Chef’s Kitchen, and they dine at a special table set up for just them.

Cooking Station Assignments:
Two or three people who register together will cook the menu items with each other. Our goal is to have guests do as much as possible in the time allotted given the restrictions of appliances and cooktop space. If you purchase a single adult ticket, you will be assigned to work at a station with another person who purchases a single ticket.

Each person (adult and child) will receive enough ingredients to prepare a generous portion of every menu item or one cake per person for cake decorating classes.

Gratuity:
Leaving a gratuity is not required but appreciated if you enjoyed your cooking experience.
