French Countryside Cooking Class

Discover Normandy country cooking in a hands on French dinner class in New York City!



3 hours Location Chelsea Class size 1 to 20 (public classes), 12 to 35   $120

Immerse yourself in the authentic flavors and slow pace of French country living with a hands-on cooking experience. Welcome to our Normandy kitchen!
Today, you'll create a classic country dinner.
Start with a beautiful Porc à la Normande, pork loin or chops, searing them to golden perfection before building a luscious, tangy sauce with local cider or Calvados and rich cream, incorporating caramelized apples and onions.
Alongside, you'll craft the iconic Gratin Dauphinois: thinly sliced potatoes layered with garlic, cream, and a touch of nutmeg, baked until tender and bubbling.
Served alongside a Shaved Fennel and Endive Salad: a raw, crunchy, and light salad that cuts through the fat of the cream sauce. And who can resist a Crusty Baguette, essential for mopping up the last bit of apple-cider cream on the plate.
Finish off the meal with delicate Madeleines, quintessential French "teacake-cookies"— learn to create a classic génoise-style batter to be enjoyed as a refreshing end of meal or cozy side to your morning coffee!

Recent reviews of French Countryside Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Douglas Polk, attended Apr 2026: Great instructor, I learned a ton! Even the little things - how to crack the eggs, how to whisk the batter - they all make a difference. I feel like an expert now. Shout out to Chef Paige!
