Simply Fancy French

Simply Fancy French

This entry is a bit overdue, but I was busy being a bridesmaid over in New Jersey and on top of that, I recently sprained my arm and it’s in a sling.  So I’m typing this entry very slowly with my left hand. This unfortunately means I won’t be able to have my cooking class this month (September), but that just means I’ll be more pumped for October!

Joe forgot to take pictures of the food, but I taught the attentive class how to make French-influenced ravioli, crepes and beef bourguignon. I think the meal was a success esp. because one student even re-created a few of the recipes at home and sent me pictures-which will be featured in my next entry.

i’m gonna stop typing for now b/c this is more exhausting than I thought with only one hand. But enjoy the pictures! Bon Appetit!

peace out for now,
julie

Some very generous praises from the class:

“Very informative!  Simply amazing!  Everything was so delicious!” -Anonymous

“This was a really fantastic class- and a great bargain for 2 people for the class & dinner.  It was a great deal.  Julie was very personable, fun to watch and listen to, and very knowledgeable about food!  The environment that was set up also was really cozy and friendly- and just like bunch of friends gathered together- even though we didn’t know each other.  Also, of course- the food was amazing.  I was so impressed with everything- my favorite was the beef stew.  Yum.  Thanks for accepting us even on such late notice.” -Grace Y.

“Thanks so much for everything.  You did great!  And the meat was tender too for us average people…don’t worry!” -Amy P.

“Thanks Julie!  You were a wonderful teacher.  I felt like I was watching a Food Network episode catered just for me.  And the lemon ricotta crackers were amazing!” -Andy
