In the Footsteps of Julia Child: Coq au vin & Tarte Tatin

It's time to channel your inner Julia Child, one of the greatest culinary masterminds, and finally try your hands on these classic French dishes you love to order at a restaurant, but never knew how to make.

While your fresh chicken, onion, mushrooms, and bacon are simmering away in a lovely red wine based sauce, take this time to boil your noodles or potatoes, or grab a loaf of crusty bread and slice them to enjoy with your finished masterpiece. You will also learn how to make a perfect French dessert to round out your meal: Apple Tarte Tatin! Once your one pot meal is finished, raise your glass for a virtual toast with your fellow foodies, and bon appetit!

A beautiful medley of fresh chicken, onion, mushrooms, bacon and red wine, this amazing dish only seems complicated. We show you a great way to put this delicate and flavorful dish together for your whole family easily – and in just one pot!

Nothing finishes a French meal like Julia’s Tarte Tatin. Imagine a slightly tart yet suspiciously sweet upsidedown apple cake. In French tradition, it only looks complicated – but this quintessential dessert is pure simplicity at it’s very best.

Grab a bottle of Cabernet, Pinot, or Bordeaux and step back in time with The French Chef! We promise this vintage French dish will shine in a tribute to this marvelous woman.

No experience is required! We will send you the equipment and ingredients list, which are easy to find and you may already have them in your home kitchen. If you don't have all ingredients, do not despair! Some ingredients can be easily substituted and our Chef will teach you how to make the most of what you already have on hand. Just make sure you have these essential ingredients: fresh chicken, red wine, onions, mushrooms, garlic, tomato paste, flour, salt, pepper, oil, and any starchy side such as noodles, bread, or potatoes. You will have an opportunity to interact with the Chef and ask questions once you have created your dish.
