French Bistro Date Night

Description

Oui, oui! This evening, you are cordially invited to Chef Milad's home for a 3-course French Bistro themed dinner party. Be transported to a bustling street of Paris, where the mouthwatering smell of Croque Madame wafts from a charming bistro and lure you in. Accompanied with a lovely frisee salad and an indulgent whipped yogurt parfait with fresh, seasonal fruit compote, this meal is sure to impress anyone.

In this energetic and interactive class, you will learn how to master three delicious recipes. Our Chef Instructor will take you through a detailed demonstration of how to construct each of the dishes that are simple yet luxurious. On the menu this evening are: Croque Madame, warm sandwich ofham, ooey gooey cheese, an egg, and luscious scratch-made bechemel sauce, A refreshing Frisee Salad, and finally a lovely whipped yogurt parfait with seasonal fresh compote, also made from scratch. After creating your French masterpieces, you will have time to sit down with a glass of wine (BYOB of your favorite French wine) and eat your scrumptious French meal to your hearts content!

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. 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.

Please arrive on time, wearing your mask. Guests are invited to BYOB wine, beer, or champagne.

Meet your chef instructor

Having served and managed in various DC restaurants over the past 15 years, in addition to being raised in a culinary household, Chef Milad's passion for the art of food and hospitality compels him to share the wealth of knowledge and experience amassed over time with as many receptive individuals as one could come across. Some notable highlights from his hospitality career include Fiola Mare, Osteria Morini, Albi, and Seven Reasons, where his food, wine, and spirits education found new territory to conquer. Practically having spent most of his childhood and adolescent years in the catering and restaurant kitchens of his parents, Milad was fortunate to be allowed to play the part of “junior sous chef” to both his chef father, a former executive chef of 5 years at the American Embassy in Lebanon and veteran of the industry, and his mother. His mother, an equally masterful chef in her own right, was profoundly influential on evolving Milad's culinary philosophy and inspiring a deep-rooted work ethic to match, all while showing me how to keep it fun and deliver a meal straight from the heart. Outside of work, Chef Milad enjoys experimenting in the kitchen with novel culinary conjurings, writing poetry, drawing, and composing and producing music; but most paramountly, developing his ongoing 18-year attachment with his musical instrument; the guitar. Also, he often uses free time to traverse intellectual avenues discussing biology, psychology, philosophy, history, and many more informative topics to feed his creative urge and spirit.
