Whether you’re looking to add a little French inspiration into your cooking or just have an entertaining evening out ~ this is the class for you!
In this hands-on class, you will learn how to make the best of Julia’s very own recipes. Her goal was to make all home chefs feel comfortable and confident in the kitchen, even when preparing fine foods and intimidating recipes.

"It was an amazing, fun, and team building experience! The food we cooked ended up tasting better than a five-star restaurant. Chef John is talented as a chef, as a host, and as a standup comedian. I can't imagine anyone going here and not having an awesome time. And, the team of people he has is equally amazing."
