France is a country famous for its history, art, fashion, language and, perhaps above all else, its food! Transport yourself to the streets of Paris on a cold winter night, ducking into a cozy side street bistro to find comfort in some of the most iconic French bistro fare. Together, with our resident French chef instructor, Zoé McLaughlin, you’ll explore the secrets behind creating an authentic steak tartare with all the fixings!

We will start off with the classic potato leek soup and explore how to take this modest soup to new heights with some simple techniques. A true steak tartare is made “au couteau,” prepared with a knife and not a meat grinder. The simplest of recipes but its success relies on excellent ingredients. To accompany our steak tartare, mounds of pomme frites served with a side of homemade mayonnaise. We will end the evening with the grand finale: Chocolate Soufflé!

Although many of the celebrated dishes of French cuisine are impressive, they needn’t be intimidating. In this hands-on class featuring bistro classics, Zoé McLaughlin will teach you the tips and techniques required to be a confident chef de cuisine in your home kitchen!
