Today was such foodie fun - first up a hands on class at the Ritz, followed by lunch and of course French wines. Located in the beautiful Place Vendome littered with the best jewellerey stores in the city.
The dish for today was Poitrine de canette lustree au miel gingembre; sariette; champignons saute or in E nglish Duck Breast Glazed with Ginger and Spinach served with sauteed Cepes mushroom. Twelve of us (a mix of locals, Americans, Japanese and me were split into groups and off we prep. The kitchens are accessed by the back of the Ritz thru the Rue Cambon - for the shoppers like me this is famous street as its where Coco Chanel's original atelier still operates today with her apartment left exactly as when she lived there!
Anyway back to the Ritz a fabulous kitchen, a friendly chef David and voila lunch is cooked. Then we get to sit together and enjoy a meal - its a great way to spend time in Paris if you are into food but beware the pastry classes book out early thats why I did this class.
