Bring a bit of France to your kitchen with four authentic French recipes designed by Chef Paul. 

You’ll start off by making a mesclun salad with a blend of arugula, leafy lettuces and endive topped with Chef Paul’s No-Fail vinaigrette (you will use this recipe forever, je vous assure). For the main course you’ll prepare a classic Cornish hen – a great substitue for a whole roasted chicken, and with a shorter cooking time – with a versatile paprika rub. To accompany this, you’ll prepare Chef Paul’s favorite French scalloped potatoes. For dessert, whip up a dreamy raspberry soufflé (Oui, mon ami, you can) completely from scratch.

We’re starting off this wonderfully French meal with a classic Caesar salad (the dressing will knock your chausettes off). Then you’ll gather round to learn the classic method of preparing coq au vin, an aromatic chicken dish cooked in wine sauce. The secret, as with many French recipes, is in the sauce (there will be bacon). We serve it the traditional way, with a baguette (who knew?).  To round out this meal, you’ll prepare a did-I-do-that? perfectly yummy French soufflé with chocolate sauce. Vive la France!

In this next level Knife skills class, Chef Paul will highlight French knife skill techniques, including dicing, julienne, segments, spatchcocking (butterflying), brunoise, chiffonade, ribbons, mincing. This is a more advanced class focused on skills, so it’s helpful to have taken Knife Skills Fundamentals first. 

For this menu, Chef Paul has chosen a wilted kale salad (ribbons, chiffonade, mincing, julienne, sticks), followed by a lesson in how to spatchcock a cornish hen (so removing the backbone) and preparing a rub before roasting. Alongside a vegetable couscous, you’ll create a fresh chermoula sauce (brunoise of different shaped vegetables, deseeding, deveining). In preparing the couscous and chermoula, Chef Paul will give a mini lesson in how to choose the right olive oil, and how to taste the difference in olive oils. Dessert will be a super fresh apple sorbet (segmenting fruit, a difficult technique).
