"People who love to eat are always the best people"...Julia Child
June 17th
I must be one of those peeps😏. Today I spent the day in a French cooking class at Terroirs by Adeline. I have been twice before and it's always a wonderful experience...great instruction, wonderful food and fabulous wines. To start the day we gather in Adeline's kitchen and then out to the garden to collect herbs for the recipes. She has an incredible garden with rosemary, oregano, sage, parsley, chives, currents, strawberries, raspberries, artichokes, carrots, onions, tomatoes, fruit and olive trees...and more! Next we return to the kitchen and we are assigned tasks to complete. Carline, her assistant who is actually from New Zealand, has prepped all of the ingredients for each recipe. I was asked to make the dessert for the day which was chocolate mousse with a creme anglaise sauce and wonderful lemon madeleines. After getting started Carline served us our first wine...a Rose Cremant de Bourgogne, to sip on as we cooked. Other wines followed with each course. An Aligote with an appetizer which is not as prevalent as Chardonnay in Burgundy but delicious non-the-less, a Premier Cru Chardonnay followed by two Pinot Noirs. I just love this experience and if you are ever in Beaune I would highly recommend it. It's pricey but worth every Euro!
