It's time to channel your inner Julia Child, one of the greatest culinary masterminds, and finally try your hands on those classic French dishes you love to order at a restaurant, but never knew how to make. Her most notable dish is Beef Bourguignon. The first dish she accomplished on her first show of “The French Chef” in 1963, it mesmerized viewers by breaking down the long and complex steps to a dish with a glorious ending! Imagine a beef stew, but stepped up – way up! Every flavor in the dish is distinct and unique, yet somehow comes together harmoniously in perfect balance. Think it’s too complicated and you can’t do it like Julia? Nonsense! Let this class show you what’s behind the curtain to this romantic dish.
