A hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with a glass of wine or beer.

In a country where the typical dinner party doesn't start until 8pm and arriving fashionably late is the cultural norm, it is essential to have a variety of hors d'œuvres for guests to enjoy. Take a trip with Zoe through the hors d’oeuvres of France, from the simple to the elaborate, and learn how to entertain as artfully and effortlessly as the French do.
