Sample Cooking Menu:

• Porc à la Normande: Savor a classic French dish featuring pork loin or chops seared to golden perfection, then finished in a rich, tangy sauce made with cider or Calvados, cream, and caramelized apples and onions for a beautifully balanced main course.
• Gratin Dauphinois: Indulge in this comforting favorite of thinly sliced potatoes layered with garlic, cream, and a hint of nutmeg, baked until tender, bubbling, and irresistibly creamy.
• Shaved Fennel and Endive Salad: Brighten the plate with a crisp, refreshing salad of shaved fennel and endive, offering a light, crunchy contrast to the richness of the main dish.
• Crusty Baguette: Complete the meal with a classic French baguette, perfect for soaking up every last bit of the apple-cider cream sauce.
• Madeleines: Finish on a sweet note with delicate, shell-shaped French teacakes, learning to create a classic génoise-style batter for a light and elegant dessert.
