About This Transcontinental Cooking Class

Step aboard for an unforgettable culinary journey inspired by the legendary luxury train that once carried travelers from Paris to Istanbul in opulent style (and was, of course, the setting for one of Hercule Poirot’s greatest triumphs!). Imagine the romance of the rails, the glittering dining cars, and the rich blend of cultures that unfolded with every passing stop along the way.

In this hands-on cooking class, we’ll explore the flavors, traditions, and stories of the cities and regions along the route—from French countryside classics to Central European comforts and the sweet delights of the Eastern Mediterranean. You won’t just cook; you’ll be transported.

Together, we’ll prepare and enjoy a generous, elegant meal:
• PARIS: French cheese & charcuterie
• STRASBOURG: Onion bacon tart flambée (Flammekuchen)
• MUNICH: Weisswurst with sweet mustard
• VIENNA: Imperial asparagus salad
• BUDAPEST: Chicken paprikash
• BUCHAREST: Cheesy polenta with mushrooms
• ISTANBUL: Walnut baklava

This is a full dinner experience, taught in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere—perfect for couples, friends, food lovers, or anyone who dreams of traveling with their tastebuds. You’ll leave with new cooking skills, a happy heart, and a very full belly.

…Hopefully no one gets stabbed.

No prior cooking experience is necessary. Just bring your appetite, your curiosity, and your sense of adventure!
