Cook’n with Class Uzès – French cooking classes in English

Exploring the food culture of France is a great way to get to know the French and to develop a palette and appreciation for all the country has to offer. It is with this idea in mind – a Taste of France, a love of Cooking and a desire to share French culture with visitors that our French cooking school was born. Through our French cooking classes in Uzès you will explore French cuisine, specifically Mediterranean and Provençale with market visits, local cheese & wine tasting & the occasional anecdotes.

Your French cooking classes starts off with a local FRENCH MARKET TOUR with your French Chef, Eric Fraudeau. You return to the school for a HANDS-ON French cooking experience. You’ll dine together over a 4-course meal including French wine, French cheese & of course, French bread.  Don’t worry, we won’t forget the Apéro before the meal to reward ourselves for a job well done.

You will be introduced to a number of French cooking recipes and will be mastering French cooking in no time. All classes are taught in English.

Looking for a fun way to discover Provençale and Mediterranean French Cuisine through regional French cooking recipes while in the South of France? Look no further than our French cooking school, Cook’n with Class Uzès.

The weather has been wet the past few weeks, but now the sun is out, and the sky is blue!  So, we are getting into the holiday spirit and looking forward to the Christmas markets.  In Uzès, the market will be this weekend, beginning Saturday December 13 in the evening, and on Sunday and Monday during the day until 7pm.  The majority of the market will be in the Place aux Herbes, but it’s always worth it to explore the little streets in order to find art galleries and restaurants that are open. Happy Holidays!

Fête du Goût à Uzès – #uzès

2

If you are one of those people who is drawn to France because of the food and wine, then the week of October 13-19, 2014 is for you.

Perhaps you are asking what is the Fête du Goût?

The English translation is simply Festival of Taste.  Since 1990, on the initiative of the food writer Jean-Luc Petitrenaud, the Ministry of National Education has sponsored a week in October to bring together local, regional and national sources in order to learn more about France’s culinary heritage and the food industry.  French students from kindergarten to high school participate in the event.  The aim is to educate consumers, including children, about the diversity and the pleasure of tastes and flavors.  Of course, this includes encouraging good eating habits as part of a balanced and sustainable way of life.

But enough of the dry explanations and on to the fun!

In Uzès on Sunday, October 12, there will be a full day of festivities.  There will be foods, wines, music, dance and even a waiter’s race!  This will be a great time for the whole family.  If you are in the area, don’t miss the fun.  Or, make a note on your calendar to come to Uzès next year to attend!!

A bientôt!
