Cooking Classes

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.

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.

In this hands-on cooking class, Chef Paul will teach you how to create a creamy, perfectly cooked asparagus and green pea risotto completely from scratch.  You’ll learn how to add, stir, and time your risotto for a restaurant-quality dish every time. To start off the class, you’ll prepare a delicious goat cheese spread that you will slather over sliced bread. Keeping with the Italian green theme,  you’ll make a wilted kale salad with a zingy lemon juice vinaigrette, and you’ll finish the meal with a palate-pleasing raspberry sorbet.
