Bistro-style: a little bit American, a little bit French. Learn these classic bistro dishes with recipes created by Chef Paul, and make a hearty 4-course dinner that brings the bistro to you. First you’ll whip together Chef Paul’s signature flaky cheese puffs, (gougères, in French), an airy and popular hors d’oeuvre that disappear as fast as you can make them. Then you’ll work on the main course; crispy chicken thighs served over a medley of vegetables cooked in red wine sauce. You will learn to make spaetzle, a specialty of Alsace and Switzerland, to accompany the main course, using a spaetzle maker to make perfect, authentic, dumplings. A fruity, palate-pleasing sorbet rounds off this delicious meal.

The Joy of French (Country) Cooking
4:00pm -7:00pm
Class: $125
This weekend, 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 paprika rub. To accompany this, you’ll prepare Chef Paul’s favorite nutmeg-spiced scalloped potatoes. For dessert, whip up a dreamy raspberry soufflé (Oui, mon ami, you can) completely from scratch.
