There’s a reason the French are known as the masters of cuisine, and you’re about to taste it tonight! Our resident French Canadian is bringing out her favorites to welcome you into the world of fine dining. You’ll start off with a fantastic onion soup that’s thick and rich with flavor, sear up your own salmon and affix it with a puff pastry stuffed to the brim with Lazy Acres’ freshest produce, and finish off with a dessert that’s both straight forward but complex with flavor. Learn how to cook by taste and guide your meal the way you want with tonight’s French Classics.

Menu: Onion Soup to start. Salmon in Puff Pastry with Mushrooms, Herbs, and Spinach for a lavish meal, and a lemon lavender tart kissed with black pepper for dessert.

About Chef Isabelle:

Born in a small village in Quebec, Canada, Isabelle grew up with an early appreciation of where her food originated—she often foraged, hunted and fished in the area’s rugged wild for the family meal. Even as a young girl, she appreciated that use of the freshest, highest quality ingredients should be the standard in the preparation of good food. The French Canadian learned the art of butchery from her dad, the local butcher, and she furthered her knowledge through specialty courses at the local college. Her family has owned and operated restaurants, as well as a catering business, for 25 years, and Isabelle grew up learning the ins and outs of the industry and culinary arts.

FAQ:

Is there an age requirement for this class?

• We ask that participants are 18+ years, or that they have completed a Kids’ Intermediate class (12+ years), as the tools and techniques will be similar.

What does "Hands On" mean?

• Hands-on changes from class to class, but it generally means getting your hands dirty. From rolling sushi to slicing and dicing, the class will be designed around the theme and age group of the class. We'll provide the tools, so don't fret! Most of the tools are what you'd have at home, as we try to encourage taking the lessons learned in the class and apply them at home.

Is there a Dress Code?

• We strongly recommend wearing clothes appropriate for the kitchen. Closed-toed shoes, sleeves above your elbows, and a way to tie up longer hair are all strongly recommended.

What do if I have a food sensitivity or restriction?

• We've got substitutes prepared! Each time you purchase a ticket it will ask you to list your dietary restrictions. Please be as explicit as possible. If there's a class with a major component, ie. flour in pasta making, that might conflict with your sensitivity, we ask that you please consider another class that removes possible cross-contamination.

Do I need to bring my ticket to class?

• Nope! We do check-ins by name so all you need to bring is your lovely self.

Is there a waiting list?

• Unfortunately, our classes are on a first-come, first serve basis. If you're interested in joining our classes, we encourage you to sign up early!

Do you do private events?

• We do! Please follow the link below which will show you which type of events we offer & how to schedule one: https://moonappetit.eventbrite.com

What's your refund policy?

• We're happy to refund your ticket up to 24 hours before the event. This allows our chefs adequate time to prepare materials and ingredients for the class.
