Description

The French cook because they love it and they want to eat well. Discover the pleasures of French cuisine with this French cooking class on the Sunshine Coast. Our delectable French recipes will have you wishing you knew the French word for ‘more’! You’ll be a masterful ‘chef de cuisine’ in no time!

We invite you to come and enjoy our cooking class whilst experiencing the lifestyle and the beauty of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

We take the best ideas, the freshest local seasonal produce and combine cooking principles, techniques and inspirations gathered from many cooking traditions and cultures to form what we like to eat today.

You will arrive for your French cooking class at 9am and start the day with some refreshments. Get to know the other participants in your group over a cool drink, tea or coffee, and a macadamia fudge delight slice and citrus breakfast cake that have been specially prepared in our kitchen. Introductions are followed with an overview of the day ahead.

Then it’s time to get hands-on and work together with your new friends to prepare and cook an assortment of elegant French dishes. Throughout the day you’ll enjoy the tastes, textures and aromas of simple and sophisticated French regional dishes and the modern bistro foods of Paris. Journey through France without even having to leave the Sunshine Coast! Dishes may include vanilla crème brûlée, goat’s cheese and walnut salad, or truites salmonée en bellevue (poached salmon trout with herb mayonnaise).

But the fun isn’t over yet! Once all the dishes are completed you will sit down together and enjoy a delicious lunch that has been created by you! Enjoy your French feast and a glass of wine while overlooking the hinterland and the sparkling coast. This is a great part of the day!

We keep our cooking classes small to give you the best opportunity to cook your chosen dishes and learn how they are made. After the class you take with you information on the cooking techniques used for each dish, a comprehensive recipe booklet and a pen. You will be inspired to race home and invoke the tastes of France in your very own kitchen!
