A Taste of France *In-Person*

French cuisine needs no introduction. Simple, rich, and with an exquisite attention to detail, French cuisine has no doubt left its mark on almost every cuisine around the world. Come join Chef Evelyn Schichner who will teach you how to prepare a delicious Potager Aux Celeriac et Poire (celeriac and pear soup), Chicken Cordon Bleu, Haricots Verts Aux Amandes (green beans with almonds), Pommes De Terre Au Parmesan (potatoes with parmesan), and a Tarte Au Chocolat (chocolate tart). We’ll toast with a glass of French wine as we savor our dinner together. Instructor: Evelyn Schichner

Evelyn has been interested in baking and cooking all of her life. Growing up in a military family she was exposed to many cultures and cuisines. However, it was first watching Julia Child on PBS that cemented her love of French cooking. Julia not only offered authentic French recipes but she showed how you could have fun the kitchen - something Evelyn practices to this day! A few decades ago Evelyn decided to take her love of French cooking a step further by attending a week-long cooking school in Arles. That experience was so rewarding she attended a week-long class in Paris where she was introduced to classic French cooking. Now she goes to both Paris and the Provence region to take classes. Her knowledge and her library of recipes are continually expanding with each trip. She has been able to adapt the recipes and learned techniques to the American kitchen and is eager to pass on her knowledge to students of the CCAE - while having fun - OF COURSE!
