Whenever I think of food and cooking, France pops up first. But I don't speak French. If I could spend a few months in France I would feel more confident about navigating around. Getting off the plane and trying to get a taxi, find an address, buy stuff, AGGH. But we are taking France, the home of haute cuisine. Can i work up the courage to do it? Don't know, but dreaming is free.
This school looks very promising. Here is what the web says:
I offer five-day classes in Patricia Wells's Left Bank Paris studio in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Près. I conduct the hands-on classes in Patricia's airy studio and focus on (my emphasis) specialty oils, chocolate, cheese and wine, with special emphasis on organic ingredients. Each day begins at 10 am with a demonstration, followed by a class and multi-course lunch.
The class is limited to 7 guests. The week begins with class on Monday morning and ends after lunch on Friday. The fee is Euro 2,760 and includes instruction and five lunches. The fee does not include dinners or lodging. A list of recommended hotels is sent to enrolled guests. An apron and detailed recipe booklet will be yours to keep.
Hmmm. How much do I care about the "focus". Not much. And hotels in that area are very expensive. And the 5 day class costs $3,479. Anyway, they don't have classes in Jan or Feb. I will continue looking.
