Paris Market Tours
Welcome to my Paris Market Tours, for groups of four or more!
For our Paris market tour, we will meet up at a local café over an espresso, then head into a lively Paris market where I’ll show you how to shop for locally produced, seasonal ingredients. We’ll talk about the French dedication to quality and its influence on the world; we’ll delve into seafood and bread, gorgeous spring radishes and crisp winter lettuces; juicy summer fruits and the perfect roast chicken. As we walk we’ll meet vendors and producers, we’ll sample the best that’s to offer, and we’ll get inside the French world of the market, its personalities, its food. You will emerge from our tour with a whole new way of looking at and thinking about ingredients, the people who produce and sell them, and a country that bases much of its worth and reputation on the quality of its food.
The fee for a Paris Market Tour is 110 €.

The Art of Cooking & Food Photography
June 25-28, 2012
I invite you to join me and award-winning photographer Francis Hammond (www.fhphoto.com) for a three-day workshop filled with cooking, visiting, and shooting at On Rue Tatin.
You’ll cook with me and photograph with Francis.
You will learn the techniques of both the art of cooking and photography; you’ll learn about food styling, about making beautiful photographs, about telling a story through them.
The results of your time at On Rue Tatin in the kitchen, in the dining room, in the market, will be stunning, the flavors unforgettable, the wines, cheeses, and characters memorable.
Francis Hammond divides his time between Paris and New York. Noted for his food photography, interior photography where he focuses on stately homes, and advertising photography, he is also widely appreciated for a rollicking sense of humor.
Francis teaches what he knows, which is getting into the atmosphere of a place, and pulling out the colors, textures, aromas, and flavors to put in each photograph he makes.
The fee for the Art of Cooking & Food Photography class is 1,800 €.

Autumn in Asheville
Three Day Class September 11-13, 2012
Evening Class September 12, 2012
I'm more than thrilled to be returning to Asheville, North Carolina, a small jewel of a city whose food culture is rich in tradition, deep in culture, lively in innovation. With Asheville and its food culture as our backdrop, we will cook together for three days, in a professionally equipped kitchen near the Biltmore mansion. Our ingredients will come from local farms and producers; recipes and wines will be French (with a few Italian accents included), meals will be leisurely. As we cook, I will give you tricks, tips, and hints that I've learned during my thirty year cooking career in France, and you will leave your Asheville experience with a new-found confidence in the kitchen.
Our cooking class will include three hands-on classes, three meals, a field trip to visit an artisan food producer, and many tastes of local products. You will be thrilled and delighted with the quality of cheeses, breads, meats, seafood and local produce, and I will make sure that you leave the class with French techniques, recipes adapted to the home cook, and answers to all your cooking questions.
I will also offer an individual evening class for those who cannot free themselves during the day.
The price for the three day class, which includes three hands-on classes, three meals, and a field trip with samples is $1,200. The cost for an evening class is $295.

Mushrooms and More

Mushrooms and More...a new On Rue Tatin tradition! Please, join me and like-minded mushroom fanciers for a deliciously delectable ride through the world of mushrooms. We’ll cook them, powder them, slice them over pasta; we’ll turn them into soups and salads, we’ll roam the local forest with our favorite mushroom guide and bring home basketsful to sauté, braise, grill and feast upon; to top it off, we'll visit a local mushroom cave too.
After a mushroom class with me at On Rue Tatin you're likely to be addicted, to everything from morels to death trumpets, to any number of wild and savory mushrooms.

Team building gives a group the chance to share a warm experience.
