Flavors of Provence

A hands-on, collaborative cooking class culminating in a family-style dinner served with wine and beer.

Located in the South of France, Provence is widely known for its rolling hills of lavender, vineyards of celebrated rosé, and aromatic clusters of rosemary, thyme, oregano, and tarragon (herbes de Provence). Yet there is an unpretentious and practical side to the region, and such values can be seen in its delicious cuisine. Zoé McLaughlin will show us that food that is hearty and honest can be elegant, and simple can be special.
