Fast French Dishes: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

A hands-on class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer.

Sometimes the idea of cooking French food at home seems daunting; the image of a simmering Dutch oven on the stove evokes a weekend project, not something you throw together on a weekday. Yet this class features French flavors for fuss-free breakfast, lunch, and dinner, proving to you that French dishes don’t require hours of cooking, and are still packed with flavor and land on the table quickly! Consider these for your workdays, or even for a last-minute weekend brunch that won't bog you down, so you can relax with your guests and have that perfectly imperfect je nais se quoi when you tell everyone how you put it all together.
