Join us for a Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Art book signing and cooking demonstration in this Napa, CA experience!



1.5 hours Location Napa Experience size 1 to 6 guests   $10

Ever wondered how a classic French dish earns its legendary reputation? Spend an evening at PLAYTE Kitchen with Chef Eric Bédiat, Head Cuisine Chef at Le Cordon Bleu London, for an exclusive demonstration of Lobster à l’Américaine!
Chef Bédiat opens with an introduction to Le Cordon Bleu’s seven-volume culinary reference collection, then moves to the stove to prepare a dish from the Fish and Shellfish volume. Tender lobster meets a rich tomato-based sauce in a recipe that has been admired for generations.
As he cooks, you’ll see how professionals handle lobster, build a layered sauce, and perfectly balance flavor. Chef Bédiat draws on years in Michelin-starred kitchens and culinary education, so expect plenty of insider tips you can carry into your own cooking.
When the demonstration wraps up, you’ll taste the finished dish and join a question-and-answer session with Chef Bédiat with time to get your copies signed and personalized afterwards!
This evening is a great experience for foodies and amateur chefs dreaming of French technique.
