French Bistro For Two: Boeuf Bourguignon & Tarte Tatin
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.
Chef Mark has a rich family history with food. His grandfather ran the busy San Francisco produce market, his grandmother was a whiz at anything Italian, and his mother is a winemaker. At a young age he attended the Institute of Culinary Education, then moved to Northern California to work in the kitchen at the famous Auberge Du Soleil in the Napa Valley.
A lengthy career working with gourmet food products gave him an opportunity to work closely with hundreds of the world's top chefs and culinary professionals. After much travel he developed a deep passion for gourmet ingredients and embarked on a personal journey, opening his own artisan cheese shop and catering company encompassing all his dedication for food, cooking, and the passion of good eating.
The class will take place in Chef's home, where Chef will implement utmost safety and sanitation measures. Guests are invited to BYOB wine, champagne or beer. You are encouraged to bring reusable containers to take any leftover home. The chef has a small cat - in case you have allergies or need medication beforehand. The chef can put him in another room too.
