Whisk your friends away to dinner in a French bistro.

Treat your loved ones to an indulgent French-inspired feast with this private chef experience. Chef Mary Ann will reveal some classic haute cuisine techniques as she guides your tastebuds through a whole délicieux menu.

Your French food journey begins with a quintessential onion soup, topped with bubbling Gruyère cheese and moves onto a frisée salad with crispy lardons and perfectly poached egg. From there you’ll discover peppercorn-crusted steak, served with haricots vert and potatoes Dauphinoise, before finishing the meal with a rich and decadent vanilla bean crème brûlée.

Going to Chef Mary Ann was quite an inspiration! I felt totally transported to Italy with her delicate dishes full of aromas that you can only find in an authentic Italian home. She presented her lessons with her amazing style, and made me feel as if I was cooking with a superstar Italian grandmother. Thanks for such a wonderful time!!
