Located in the 12th Arrondissement of Paris, near Bastille and the Gare de Lyon, l'Ecole des Gourmets will be our host for our first two hands-on culinary sessions. Conceived by Chef Geneviève Lenain, it is both welcoming and luxurious, and very Parisian!
On Rue Tatin, Susan Herrmann Loomis's Norman Kitchen will be the scene of our Saturday outing. We will be privy to a demonstration of Susan's expertise followed by an apératif garni, all in the atmosphere of Susan's 15th century haven, complete with 12th century vaulted wine cellar.
