Bring a bit of France to your kitchen with four fantastique French recipes taught 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 do this) completely from scratch.

Welcome to Little Italy! In this class you’ll go all-Italian with a delicious menu of Caesar salad, gnocchi, and sorbetto. Come enjoy the great vibe of this neighborhood, and make a great Italian meal to remember it by.

The joy of the Caesar salad is all in this divine dressing, which is both creamy and piquant. Working in groups, Chef Paul will show you how to create perfectly pillowy gnocchi completely from scratch.  You’ll learn how to mix, roll, slice and boil restaurant-style gnocchi, which you’ll prepare alongside a tasty tomato vodka sauce that pairs with it beautifully. As a final touch, you’ll make a refreshing fruit (sometimes raspberry, sometimes strawberry basil) sorbet for dessert.

This menu of Italian classics has been transformed into a vegan feast. In this class you will learn how to make vegan counterparts to these well-loved dishes, without losing the flavors and textures that make them so popular.

You will start out by building a new kind of Caesar salad, one that uses tahini and garlic, cider vinegar and a touch of nutritional yeast to make a creamy and delicious dressing. Then you will make the risotto, and Chef Paul will share his tips for creating a fabulous vegetable stock, a staple of many vegan dishes. This menu includes a tasty carrot miso spread, served over toasted and sliced baguette, and a fresh and cool basil raspberry sorbet to round out this delicious and healthy meal.

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!
