Modern French Stews

About this Class

There’s nothing more comforting than a stew on a chilly night. In this class, you will learn the essential equipment and ingredients to create French-style stews, as well as how to make a bouquet garni and how to cut up your own stew meat. You’ll then use what you’ve learned to make three stew recipes—Beef Burgundy, French pork stew, and chicken bouillabaisse—that, with time and attention, transform humble, less expensive ingredients such as chuck-eye roast, pork butt, and chicken parts into memorable dishes.
