Learn to Cook French Cuisine!

Bistro Bistro (map)

Selected By: Kelly & J.T.

*** It's a great day to learn, eat, and enjoy French food! See you there! ***

UPDATE #3: There are still 4 spots left, so you may claim a spot by arriving early with exact cash. Also, there are usually 2 no-shows for this event, so you just might be able to join us. Make sure to come early with exact cash.

UPDATE #2: There are 9 early bird spots left and the price will increase from $40 to $50 before NEXT Sunday, July 18th. To be fair to those who want to join in and are ready to make payment, I'll be removing those that haven't paid by Wednesday, July 14th. So make payment to *truly* lock in your spot.

UPDATE #1: Due to not enough participants we have to reschedule this event to Sunday, July 25th.

Ok, let's eat!... and learn how to cook fine French dishes!

We have a fun class planned with this one! Come join us at Bistro Bistro for a 3 hour demonstration on French cooking. Learn the intricacies in the preparation of fine French cuisine, and how to cook world class dishes using varied ingredients and simple techniques.

We are privileged to have the owner and chef Jamal Bouzid, a chef and restaurateur for over 16 years, take us through the culinary exploration of French cuisine.

Not only that:

  • We will have 4 "rounds" of cooking, where each round demonstrates the preparation and cooking of a different dish.
  • We'll each get to enjoy and eat ALL the dishes we just learned and demonstrated to us!
  • We'll each receive copies of the recipes, detailing the preparation of the dishes demonstrated to us
  • We'll all receive a $15 gift certificate to Bistro Bistro!

MENU

~ Escargots
~ Moules Mariniere (mussels in white wine)
~ Navarin D'Agneau (lamb stew)
~ Creme Brulee

With over 16 years direct experience as a chef and restaurateur, Chef Bouzid has created highly regarded specialty dishes that not only please the palates of everyday restaurant patrons, but also draw the most discerning restaurant goers, at well known and popular restaurants such as Odeon Cafe, Marrakesh Palace, and Paper Moon. Currently operating his own restaurant, Bistro Bistro, he offers a specialized selection of French and Mediterranean dishes that keep both locals and visitors returning.

We've got an early bird special for this event of $40! The first 40 paid sign-ups, or those who pay before Sunday, July 18th (whichever comes first) get the early bird price! After that, the ticket price will go to $50. We have a LIMITED number of spots so make sure to RSVP early and make payment to get the early bird price!

Come join us, tell a friend, and let's learn, eat, and enjoy all about French food together! =)

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Please know this is a DEMONSTRATION cooking class, rather than a "hands-on" class (which is much more expensive). Also, wine and drinks are not included in the ticket price, so you will need to purchase on your own.

Closest Metro is Dupont Circle (Red Line), I suggest metro / cabbing it (esp. during rush hour). I also recommend using wmata for travel plans.
