***

It was Julia Child who famously said: "I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate."

It's never too late!

If you're in a recipe rut, a skills rut or even just a life rut, our French Cooking Series, inspired by Julia Child an is sure to spark a new passion for food and culture that will whet your appetite for the good life. You may not be the next Julia Child (or maybe you are!), but you'll walk away from this series with a greater appreciation for French food and wine, and the know-how to whip up a mean Roast Chicken, perfect Nicoise Salad, and more!

In this series we'll be exploring the world of French cuisine using recipes from Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. At the end of this six class workshop you will have hours of practice in basics like knife skills, sanitation, cooking methods, product identification, seasoning, proper usage of herbs, and of course extensive practice of classical French techniques and plating principles!

Both Martha Stewart and Ina Garten (of Barefoot Contessa fame) kick started their culinary careers by working through the recipes in this book. The methods and techniques you'll learn will provide a solid foundation of culinary knowledge and practical applications that will open a whole new world of possibilities in your kitchen!

In each class we will create classic recipes from the book, then one authentic French dish with a modern twist.
