Cozy French Bistro

Transport yourself to the streets of Paris on a chilly night, ducking into a cozy side street bistro to find comfort in iconic French bistro fare. With our resident French chef instructor, Zoé McLaughlin, we’ll celebrate timeless dishes and traditional techniques. 

You’ll begin with a warm goat cheese salad, focusing on balance and contrast—crisp greens, creamy cheese, and a bright, well-seasoned vinaigrette. Next, you’ll prepare steak tartare au couteau, learning the traditional French method of hand-chopping beef with a knife rather than grinding, which creates superior texture and allows precise control over seasoning. Classic French fries round out the savory course, with attention to proper frying technique for a crisp, golden finish. The class concludes with crème brûlée, where you’ll master silky custard and achieve the signature crack of caramelized sugar. 

This class is perfect for cooks who want to experience the cozy elegance of a French bistro while learning techniques that define the cuisine. Let’s cook together!
