Flavors of The Cote D’Azur

A four hour hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with wine.

The Cote D’Azur, France’s ultimate glamorous playground located on the Mediterranean coastline is home to the rich and famous not only for its lyrical landscapes but for its culinary traditions! There is a reason Bouillabaisse is the reigning king of seafood stews in the South of France; the unique flavoring of the broth, derived from saffron, fennel seeds and orange zest distinguishes it from other fish stews. This menu encompasses all the classics for which the South of France is famous!
