Class Description:
Tonight, we’re putting an avant-garde spin on some of France’s most beloved dishes by infusing them with bold, globally-inspired flavors and techniques. Your guide is CCKC Head Instructor and Executive Chef Melissa Houston, who has travelled the globe cooking and teaching for over 30 years. Hailing from the West Coast, Melissa used her wealth of culinary experience to put her own unique spin on regional and global cuisine that is both healthy and delicious.
Our menu begins with a Thai twist on a classic French fish en papillote - delicate cod fillets steamed in parchment paper parcels with a vibrant blend of Kaffir Lime Leaf and Lemongrass, Nam-Pla fish sauce, ginger and garlic. Next, we'll sear end cuts of Beef Tenderloin and top them with a decadent Brandade - a traditional salt cod and potato stuffing with egg yolks and parmesan.
To accompany our mains, you'll learn how to cook Lentils du Puy, green lentils cooked in a rich stock and herbs and Roasted Fennel simply dressed in olive oil and sea salt. For a grand finale, we'll prepare Pot du Crème - a luxurious, silky-smooth baked French custard. In this limited hands-on class, you'll learn classic cooking techniques while enjoying French classics updated with a fusion twist. Bon appétit!
