This Evening's Menu:

Potato, Celeriac and Apple Gratin

Chaussons aux Pommes - Apple turnovers with puff pastry

Note: Feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine to enjoy during the class! Tips are welcome, but not required—they're completely optional.

Wine Pairing:

• Red Wine: A classic Burgundy (Pinot Noir) pairs beautifully with the Coq au Vin, as its earthy notes complement the wine-braised chicken and the potato, celeriac, and apple gratin.
• White Wine: For a white option, consider a Chardonnay from Burgundy to balance the creaminess of the gratin and the buttery pastry of the apple turnovers.
• Dessert Wine: A sweet Sauternes or Cider pairs wonderfully with the Apple Turnovers, enhancing the caramelized apple flavors.
