WITH LOVE FROM PARISFrench Cook & Dine Experience

Winter Warmers Edition

Cold outside.
Inside? Golden scallops. Butter sauce. Silky Paris mash. Chocolate fondant.

This is winter, but make it Paris.

With Love from Paris is Roving Larder’s elegant French Cook & Dine experience — designed for people who want more than dinner out.

You’ll cook.
You’ll sip.
You’ll learn.
Then you’ll sit down and enjoy a beautiful French-inspired meal at our long table.

It’s hands-on, generous, delicious, and just indulgent enough to feel like you’ve escaped to a little Parisian bistro for the evening.

No passport required.
Just closed shoes and an appetite.

This is the kind of winter night that gets you off the couch.

You’ll learn how to cook scallops properly, make a rich butter sauce, create silky Paris-style mash, dress a salad the French way, and finish with a warm chocolate fondant that delivers the real prize: that glorious molten centre.

It’s elegant, but not intimidating.
French, but not fussy.
Impressive, but actually achievable.

Perfect for date nights, catch-ups with friends, birthday gifts, team celebrations, or anyone who thinks winter deserves better than takeaway and trackies.

This is not a cooking demo where you sit politely and watch someone else have all the fun.

At Roving Larder, you get involved.

Your chef will guide you step by step through the evening’s menu, sharing the techniques, timing, and little kitchen secrets that make French food feel less scary and much more delicious.

You’ll cook together, taste as you go, ask questions, and build real skills you can use again at home.

Then comes the best part.

You sit down at the long table and enjoy the meal you’ve helped create — with good company, a drink in hand, and that very satisfying feeling of, “Yes, I made this.”

Please arrive 15 minutes before the class start time so we can welcome you in properly.

We’ll start with nibbles and a welcome drink while everyone settles in.

Your chef will then introduce the menu, explain the flow of the class, and guide the group through the cooking experience.

You’ll prepare the dishes, learn the techniques, and enjoy the rhythm of a warm, buzzing kitchen.

Once everything is ready, we gather around the table to share the meal together.

Good food.
Good wine.
Good people.
A very good winter night.

During this French Cook & Dine experience, you’ll learn practical techniques including:

1. How to cook scallops properly
   Golden on the outside. Tender in the centre. No rubbery disasters.

2. How to make a rich butter sauce
   Glossy, balanced, and deeply French.

3. How to create Paris-style mash
   Silky, smooth, luxurious, and absolutely worth leaving the house for.

4. How to dress a salad with French vinaigrette
   Simple, sharp, elegant — the French do not drown lettuce, and neither will you.

5. How to master chocolate fondant timing
   Set on the outside, molten in the centre, dramatic in the best possible way.

6. How to plate with bistro-style elegance
   So your food looks as good as it tastes.
