Date Night in the South of France

Join Chef Michele from her Cape Cod kitchen as she takes you on a cooking staycation to the south of France. Classically trained in French cuisine and passionate about hosting dinner parties, Chef Michele invites you into her home to teach you how to prepare your very own delicious meal, perfect for date night or your own curious exploration of food that's native to the French Riviera.

The menu begins with an aperitif tutorial on how to make a French 75 cocktail so you have something refreshing and on-brand to sip on while you cook. Next up are the appetizers, which consist of fines herb crepes. You pick the herb or spice that you'd like to incorporate into this dish, based on what you have available at home. Then the main course is a Poulet Nicoise, a popular dish from the Cote d'Azur. This chicken dish can be prepared with any vegetables of choice. Popular options include: squash, mushrooms, artichokes, carrots, and potatoes. You could even make your own Ratatouille if that's what you're in the mood for. The possibilities are endless as it's all about catering to your own tastes!

You will receive an email with the equipment and ingredients list. However, the main ingredients required to participate along with the chef include: gin or cognac, lemon juice, simple syrup, Prosecco, flour, eggs, milk, butter, herbs/spices of choice, chicken, onion, garlic, vegetables of choice, tomatoes, salt, pepper, parsley, tarragon, and chicken stock.

Prepare your mis-en-place ahead of the session and let’s get cooking together!
