Julie & Julia Cooking Class with Parties That Cook - Chicago

The class will showcase recipes and techniques from the hit movie Julie & Julia and will begin with a demo by a Parties That Cook lead chef featuring techniques like how to make a mayonnaise, hollandaise, and the perfect pastry crust. You'll then be divided into 2 teams and each team will be responsible for cooking 4 dishes from the evening's menu. Once the mouth-watering buffet is ready, you will sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor. This is not a class for those worrying about high cholesterol or who are afraid of animal products, but it is a class for those wishing to tantalize their taste buds and learn some timeless French culinary techniques!
