Join Violet Cooking School Director Jesse Brune for an evening inspired by Normandy, where apples, cider, cream and plenty of butter define the regional table.
During this chef-led masterclass, Jesse will prepare a cozy French dinner that feels just right for the first days of fall. You’ll learn the techniques behind cider-braised chicken, perfectly smooth pommes purée and one of France’s most beloved desserts.
For the hands-on portion of the evening, each guest will build an individual apple tarte tatin before sitting down to enjoy the full meal with a thoughtfully selected wine pairing.
