#1 Summer in Normandy, a French Cooking Class + Lunch with Guest Chef Peyton Barrel
Join us today for a super summery day on the coast of France with guest chef Peyton Barrell! Well, we might not actually be on the coast of France, but today we can pretend :)
Peyton is obsessed with regional French cuisine and today, he’ll share his passion for the flavors of Normandy with you! We call him the butter king and his favorite butter brand is hand-crafted here and is considered the best in the world! Cold seafood, hearty bread, fruit-forward desserts and seasonal veggies will all get the Peyton treatment today!
We will spend some time around the cozy La Poste kitchen island - with nibbles, of course - followed by a leisurely seated lunch of what you’ve prepared together.
Abby will be on-hand to help us learn all about some super yummy, French wines that are perfect-for-spring and all of our outdoor meals, bbqs, and gatherings.
A little about our good buddy Peyton: Peyton Barrell is the Chef of soon to be Asheville Rotisserie, Gourmand. A career long francophile, Peyton has spent time under James Beard Award Winning Chefs, a Michelin Starred French Restaurant, and has spent the last five years operating various iterations of Gourmand. From fine dining, charcuterie, cheese mongering, and most recently rotisserie, Peyton has spent his career immersing himself in the deep rabbit hole of French Cuisine.
This is a wine-included cooking class. We apologize but due to our permit, no outside alcohol is allowed on La Poste’s property.
Please be aware of La Poste’s cancellation policy before signing up.
La Poste’s kitchen is located on the second floor of a historic building. Taking a small flight of stairs to the second story is required to access the kitchen. I apologize that this may not be ideal for everyone. Please let me know if you’re unable to attend for this reason and I will do my best to help you find a time to attend class at the Barn.
