What You’ll Master:
The Baker’s Signature: Authentic French Baguettes
Mastering the baguette is a rite of passage. You’ll demystify the process—from achieving that airy, open "crumb" to creating the iconic, flour-dusted golden crust. You’ll learn the shaping and scoring techniques that make your kitchen smell like a Parisian boulangerie and leave with the confidence to never buy store-bought again.
The Cornerstone of Charcuterie: Rustic Pâté de Campagne
Every French farmhouse host has their own secret pâté. You’ll teach you how to create a classic, coarse-ground Pâté de Campagne (Country Pâté), seasoned with aromatic herbs, garlic, and a hint of cognac. Wrapped in bacon or lacy caul fat, this is a centerpiece dish that actually gets better with age, making it the ultimate entertaining secret.
The Savory Showstopper: Red Onion & Thyme Tarte Tatin
We take the world’s most famous "upside-down" tart and give it a savory, rustic twist. You’ll learn how to slow-melt onions until they are a sweet, dark jam, then "blanket" them in buttery pastry. The dramatic "flip" at the end is a moment of pure culinary theatre.
The Silk & Velvet Main: Classic Blanquette de Poulet
This is the "White Jewel" of French stews. You’ll master the technique of poaching tender chicken and spring vegetables in a delicate velouté, finishing it with a Liaison of egg yolks and heavy cream to create a sauce so luxurious it feels like a warm hug.
The Dramatic Finale: Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée
We end with the most satisfying sound in all of cooking: the "clink" of a spoon breaking through a burnt-sugar crust. You’ll master the silky custard base and get hands-on experience using to create that perfectly even, glass-like sheet of caramelized sugar.
