It’s been a glorious two weeks of French food fun in Texas. I had the plaisir (pleasure) of teaching some cuisine and culture classes at Central Market’s Cooking School as the gourmet market chain celebrated France’s culinary riches. We had a “Lunch in Paris” celebration as well as a memorable “Lunch in Provence.” One of my favorite dishes demonstrated by the outstanding chef team was the “Tomatoes Stuffed with Goat Cheese” adapted from Anne Willan’s From My Château Kitchen cookbook.

And the “Shop the French Market” culinary evening was a blast as we loaded our grocery shopping cart the French way – and then donned our aprons for a hands-on cooking class using the best of seasonal ingredients. Merci to all the home cooks and friends who participated!

At French Affaires, we’re going to celebrate French food again this November with a special cooking class in Dallas featuring guest chef and cookbook author Susan Herrmann Loomis. Susan has lived and cooked her way through France for more than 20 years and has been a regular part of recent French Affaires’ trips to Paris. She has written numerous cookbooks and is the founder of On Rue Tatin cooking school where she offers cooking classes in Paris and Normandy.

We are excited to host Susan for this three-day hands-on culinary workshop The Art of French Cooking designed to explore various ingredients, dishes and techniques that express the best of France’s extraordinary food culture. Our cooking class includes three days of classes, three multi-course lunches with French wines, a field trip to a local artisan food producer, and multiple tastings of French and local products. Our menus will feature the finest of seasonal ingredients especially chosen by Susan for our class. Of course, we’ll prepare and enjoy an authentic French Tarte tatin, the upside-down caramelized apple tart – one of Susan’s specialties.

As we cook, Susan will share her wealth of culinary knowledge and experience and provide answers to all our cooking and entertaining questions. Then we’ll sit down and enjoy a leisurely French meal with good food, wine and conversation. If you’ve never taken one of Susan’s classes or if you want a short ‘trip’ to France without the jet lag, you won’t want to miss these three days of French foods, wines and cooking lessons. Susan’s deep experience cooking and living in France as well as her fun personality make this an experience of a lifetime!

Our class will be held November 14 to 16, 2012 in a beautiful private kitchen in Dallas. The cost is $1200 per person and includes three days of hands-on cooking classes with Susan, all recipes, various tastings, three multi-course lunches with wine, a field trip to a local food producer, and Susan’s stories of food in France. Our class size is limited and advance registration is required. To sign up, please email us at info.french@frenchaffaires.com.
