Parisian Romance: A French Date Night Cooking Experience

Celebrate the season of love with an unforgettable evening of fine French cuisine. In this hands-on cooking experience, you and your date will create a meal that captures the beauty, indulgence, and joy of dining à la Parisienne. Wine weaves its way through every dish, infusing each recipe with warmth and richness, and tying the menu together with unmistakable French flair.

You’ll begin with French Onion Soup, slow-cooked to a deep, caramelized sweetness, finished with a splash of wine, and topped with bubbling Gruyère. Then you’ll master Beef Chateaubriand, seared and roasted to perfection with a silky red wine pan sauce. On the side, you’ll prepare Truffled Root Vegetables with Mustard Aioli, a luxurious twist on the winter harvest. Finally, dessert brings a playful challenge — the Berry Mille Feuille, layers of crisp puff pastry, pastry cream, and berries stacked like pastry Jenga: delicate, dramatic, and delightfully fun.

After cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy the feast you’ve created while we handle the cleanup. This luxurious evening is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s season, savor your love of beautiful cuisine, and experience the romance of Paris without ever leaving the Ozarks.

BYOB

We suggest a French red wine, such as a Bordeaux, Burgundy, or Côtes du Rhône with dinner, and something sparkling, like a Crémant or Champagne, to enjoy with dessert.

ADMIT TWO

Each ticket admits two people! You don’t have to bring a romantic partner; friends, gal pals, adult kids, parents, anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with is great!

French Riviera Date Night Cooking Experience

About This Coastal French Cooking Class

Slip away to the sun-drenched shores of the Côte d’Azur for a romantic evening of hands-on cooking inspired by the flavors of Southern France. This immersive class celebrates the vibrant, market-driven cuisine of the Riviera—bright, briny, elegant, and full of Mediterranean charm. Think bustling open-air markets, seaside cafés, and long, leisurely meals shared with friends under the glow of the setting sun.

We’ll begin with a colorful spread of Provençal small plates designed for sharing and savoring: buttery caramelized onion pissaladière tarts, velvety eggplant caviar, rustic roasted tomatoes with goat cheese, and a show-stopping salade niçoise with seared tuna, olives, green beans, and potatoes. Each dish highlights the fresh, sun-ripened produce and bold flavors that make this region so beloved.

Then, you’ll dive into the evening’s centerpiece—a classic bouillabaisse. This saffron-scented seafood stew is both rustic and refined, brimming with fresh fish, shellfish, and aromatics that fill the kitchen with irresistible fragrance. Finally, we’ll end on a sweet note with the iconic brioche tarte tropézienne, a pillowy pastry filled with silky orange-scented vanilla cream and dusted with sugar.

Perfect for couples, friends, or anyone seeking a delicious escape, this French Riviera–inspired class offers not just a meal, but an experience of elegance, romance, and joie de vivre—no plane ticket required!

BYOB

We suggest a Sauvignon Blanc, Cassis Blanc or Picpoul de Pinet if you like whites, a Provençal or Tavel Rosé if you prefer rosés, and a lovely dry Crémant de Loire or Crémant de Bourgogne if you want something sparkling.
