Private Apron Up Class: Five Dishes You Choose Yourself

The private version, and the whole point of it is the menu: you name five dishes, and those are the ones you learn.

That matters more than it might sound. In a shared class the menu is a compromise, and if there is a dish you have been failing at for years, it will not be on it. Here you can bring the failure with you and have it fixed.

The teachers are experienced home chefs rather than restaurant ones, which is the right end of the trade for food you intend to make again. They cover the technique and the stories behind each dish, and because nobody else is in the room, there is time for every question.

Four hours, in English, in the Old Quarter.

Snacks, bottled water and the meal you cook are all included. Up to fifteen people, and the class is yours alone.
