Bistro Boot Camp (Hyde Park, NY)


Simple, sophisticated, casual, elegant…the word “bistro” evokes so many pleasantly alluring images and experiences, many of them related to classic French cuisine—and all of them satisfying. With aromatic soups and stews, rustic omelets, robust gratins, savory tarts, and fresh-from-the-oven breads and pastries topping the menu, bistro cuisine is something that’s sure to please even the most discriminating of palates.

Featuring the best of casual American-style and French bistro cooking, the four-day Bistro Boot Camp will show you what it takes to prepare this irresistible food with ease. You’ll discover traditional and innovative recipes to add to your repertoire, along with fundamental techniques common to bistro cuisine, from roasting to braising to baking.

As a Bistro Boot Camp participant, you’ll receive two chef’s uniforms, each with a jacket, pants, and a neckerchief. Paper chef’s hats, side towels, and aprons will be provided in class.
