French Comfort Classics - Teens Cooking Class
AGES 10-15
About
In this hands-on class, teens will step into the world of French comfort food. We'll simmer, grill, whisk, and assemble a full comfort-food menu, then sit down together to enjoy it.
Limited to 8 students to keep this fully hands-on.
What's on the menu:
- Potato and Leek Soup — silky, warming, and deeply comforting, a French kitchen staple
- Croque Monsieur — the iconic French grilled ham and cheese sandwich, topped with a rich béchamel and melted cheese
- Mousse au Chocolat — light, airy, and decadently chocolatey, the classic French dessert
This class is all about building real technique — a proper velouté, a golden béchamel, and perfectly whipped mousse — perfect for growing confidence in the kitchen as the weather turns cozy.
