Upcoming Classes
Bastille Day French Bistro Night (BYOB)
Step into a cozy French evening, no passport required.
Once a month, we gather around the table for French Bistro Night—a relaxed, hands-on cooking experience inspired by the spirit of a neighborhood bistro.
Together, we’ll prepare a seasonal three-course menu rooted in classic French cuisine. The menu is finalized the same week, guided by what looks best at the farmers market; very much in the way small bistros set their “plat du jour” in France, letting the ingredients lead.
Along the way, you’ll pick up practical techniques, thoughtful tips, and a deeper understanding of how the French approach cooking at home: simply, seasonally, and with intention.
Then, we sit down to enjoy the meal family-style, just as it’s meant to be—shared, unhurried, and full of conversation.
Expect a warm, convivial atmosphere and thoughtful touches throughout. Whether you come with friends or join solo, you’ll leave with new skills, a full belly, and a little taste of France.
