French Bistro For Two: Boeuf Bourguignon & Tarte Tatin

Description

Here awaits an intimate and private Classic French Bistro experience just for two! 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 come 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.

Nothing finishes a French meal like FrenchTarte Tatin. Imagine a slightly tart yet suspiciously sweet upside down apple cake. In French tradition, it only looks complicated – but this quintessential dessert is pure simplicity at its very best. Step by step you’ll learn the secret of this beautiful treat This class will bring you step by step instructions to make this showstopper meal ending.

*The ticket is on per person basis* No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets in case you wish to recreate the dish on your own after the class. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing). When we say small size, we mean it. This class will host only up to two people at a time so if you are coming as a couple, you will be the only group present and receive Chef Mark's undivided attention and advice during the experience.



Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, wearing your mask.

Overall, great experience! Chef Mark was great! Not only did he teach my girlfriend and I how to make these delicious dishes, but he was also very knowledgeable on the background/history of French cuisine. He allowed us to go over the time limit and he provided all the materials. We even got some of the meal to take home with us as left overs. We learned a lot during this experience and would 100% do it again.
