We’ll meet at the Opera (Grand Theatre) and take a short, scenic stroll down one of the most famous Bordeaux boulevards, passing charming cafés and boutiques. If you wish, we can stop by a local wine shop to pick up a bottle to enjoy with the class. Once we arrive at my apartment, we'll get to know each other over an apéro—a drink and small bites- and I'll introduce our menu for the evening. You’ll be provided with your own apron, knife, cutting board, and recipe card. I'll demonstrate the steps and you're invited to participate in the cooking as much or as little as you're comfortable with. We’ll make the dessert first so it has time to set or bake, and then make a main dish. Sample dishes we may prepare include: Vegetable Blanquette Tomato Tarte Tatin Chou Farci Chocolate Mousse Seasonal Fruit Clafoutis Verrines After cooking, we’ll enjoy conversation and laughter over a beautiful candlelit dinner. I’ll also be happy to offer my recommendations for discovering Bordeaux. Please note: Due to regulations, I cannot serve alcohol, but you are welcome to bring your own wine to enjoy with the class.
