Patricia Wells Announces:
New Bistro
Cooking Class in Provence
Patricia
Wells is delighted to announce a new cooking week in Provence, one
focusing on the best foods that classic French bistro fare has to
offer. The new class is scheduled for Sunday, February 8 to Friday,
February 13. The week will focus on all varieties of wintry bistro
fare, including meaty daubes and stews, meats and poultry cooked
over an open fire, and cold weather salads. Winter vegetables, including
wild mushrooms, plenty of local black truffles, and other favorites
like fennel, celery root and Jerusalem artichokes will also be on
the daily menus. Winter fish and shellfish, including oysters and
scallops, will also be featured fare. Special French winter cheeses,
such us the famed Mont d’Or from the Jura and rich Chaource
from the Champagne area, will find their way to the daily cheese tray. Comforting
desserts such as mousse au chocolat and tarte au citron, will not
be left behind.
This will be a Total Cooking week, and will feature morning cooking
classes followed by lunch, allowing students leisure time in the
late afternoon and evenings to explore the region and its restaurants.
The week will begin with a welcome dinner on Sunday, February 8,
and will include classes and lunches from Monday to Friday, February
9 to 13. All instruction is in English. Recipes are geared
to the home cook. Guests are supplied with aprons as well as detailed
recipe booklets that are theirs to keep.
The
class is limited to 10 guests. The week begins with dinner on Sunday
night and ends after lunch on Friday. The fee is $5,000 and includes
Sunday night dinner and lunch Monday through Friday. The fee does
not include lodging or transportation. (A list of recommended hotels
is sent to enrolled guests.)
