The Evening Itinerary

Please arrive 15 minutes before the class start time so we can welcome you. We will begin with delicious nibbles and a welcome drink as everyone settles in. Your chef will introduce the menu, and then the hands-on cooking begins. Once the dishes are prepared, we gather around the long table to share a beautiful meal together. Good food, fine wine, and wonderful company await. 🥂

Techniques You’ll Learn

1. Perfect Scallops: Golden on the outside, tender in the centre, with no rubbery disasters.
2. Rich Butter Sauce: Glossy, balanced, and deeply French.
3. Paris-Style Mash: Silky, smooth, luxurious, and absolutely worth leaving the house for.
4. French Vinaigrette: Simple, sharp, and elegant—the French do not drown lettuce, and neither will you.
5. Chocolate fondant Timing: Set on the outside, molten in the centre, dramatic in the best possible way.
6. Bistro-Style Plating: Ensure your creations look as spectacular as they taste.
