Your host Andrea
Andrea loves to cook - her kitchen is always open and pretty much her favorite place to be! Andrea moved to the USA from France, where she had lived for 25 years. Her family and friends all over the world have definitely influenced her culinary skills, but Andrea is especially inspired by her son - a formally trained French chef. Andrea and her son experiment vicariously through one another's cooking experiences. Andrea strives to ensure that her food is presented attractively on the plate and finds it extremely important that taste is enhanced naturally through herbs, spices and essences. In this class Andrea is excited to share her Christmas recipes, her specialties from Switzerland.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my class with Andrea. She was informed, organized and personable. The class was very interactive. And, at the end of the class you will be left with delicious Gougeres and amandine aux poires. I suggest you plan a party for the night of your class! Your guests will love the results of your hard work in 'school'."
