🍂AUTUMN IN PARIS
A Cozy French Bistro Cooking Experience
Classic French Comfort Food • Hands-On Cooking • Parisian Charm
As the leaves turn brilliant shades of gold, amber, and crimson, imagine strolling through the charming streets of Paris on a crisp autumn afternoon.
The aroma of caramelized onions drifts from a neighborhood bistro. Butter sizzles in a skillet. Potatoes bubble gently in cream. A glass of wine is poured as laughter and conversation fill the room.
Now bring the magic of Paris to Knoxville! ✨
Join Chef John for a hands-on culinary journey celebrating the warm, comforting flavors of autumn in Paris.
You’ll prepare an elegant French bistro-inspired meal from scratch while learning professional cooking techniques, knife skills, flavor-building secrets, and classic French methods you can recreate at home.
