Join me, and a group of like-minded food and wine enthusiasts, in the heart of this delectable city, where farmer’s markets, artisanal food producers, tiny épiciers featuring food from around the world, world-class local wines, and a fine dining scene will make this a unique culinary adventure.

As in all of my classes, the focus will be on French technique, and on the small secrets, tips, and hints I've garnered from twenty five years of cooking and living in France. You will emerge from your experience with a whole new repertoire of recipes, as well as the confidence to get into the kitchen and delight your family and friends. Cooking in the professional kitchen at Portland’s popular kitchenware store and cooking school, In Good Taste, we will savor our way through a variety of traditional and contemporary French recipes, then sit down together to enjoy them along with local cheeses and wines.
