Paris Bistro Classics - Teens Cooking Class
AGES 10-15
About
Bienvenue à Paris!
In this hands-on session inspired by Parisian bistro cuisine, teens will cook iconic French dishes you’d find on a neighborhood café menu. We’ll bread, bake, layer, and torch our way through a full meal, learning classic techniques that turn simple ingredients into something special.
This is a cozy, confidence-boosting class with big “I made that?!” energy — and yes, everyone stays to enjoy the meal together.
What’s on the menu:
- Chicken Cordon Bleu — crispy on the outside, melty on the inside
- Gratin Dauphinois — creamy, oven-baked potatoes the French way
- Crème Brûlée — silky vanilla custard with a crackly caramelized top
Lunch is included — and cracking that sugar crust never gets old
