Why do some ingredients go together while others clash? What makes a good pairing? It's impossible to create a plate of food without considering how all the component flavors will work together. Innovative and creative chefs are always seeking out new and surprising flavor combinations, but blind guessing can be tedious and time-consuming. With modern advances in food science, we can now isolate the building blocks of flavor and aroma-leading to some surprisingly delicious modern pairings. Chef James Briscione will walk you through flavor pairing theory in this unique interactive workshop, giving you with the knowledge to unleash your creativity in brand-new and modern ways.

By the latter half of the 19th century, bistros were centers of social life in Paris, catering to great painters, writers, musicians and other artists. The simple, down-to-earth food served at such bistros quickly became as celebrated as the eateries' most famous patrons - and it's still celebrated in Paris and around the world today. You will make traditional dishes of that bygone era, such as: steak tartare; frisée salad with apples, lardons and goat cheese in a warm shallot-bacon vinaigrette; moules frites and haricot verts amandine.
