Cooking Class at Le Cordon Bleu

As this trip had much to do with eating, one of our more exciting expeditions is to take a 3 hour appetizer cooking class at the Cordon Bleu.  The building, near the Eiffel tower is an unassuming building on an unassuming  street.

Le Cordon Bleu Paris

The appetizer class consists of:

• Three tomatoes, balsamic cream and Parmesan mousse served in a glass
• Fingerling potatoes with fresh seaweed, salmon tartare and smoke herring caviar 
• Duck mousse and fruit salad flavored with spiced honey

The class was taught by a french chef with an english translator helping out.

Appetizer Class

We take the appetizers home and have them for dinner, along with a bottle of wine and some bread from the boulangerie around the corner. There is way too much for the two of us to eat, as there are 4 full boxes worth of appetizers.
