#1 Perfectly Provence, a French Cooking Class + Lunch with Guest Chef Peyton Barrel
Join us today for a super summery day learning about the beautiful foods of southern France. We are so excited that summer is almost here! And, when we begin to look forward to warmer weather, what we are mostly looking forward to is picnicking in true French style! So, let us pretend that we are in the South of France, amongst the green vineyards and sunflower or lavender fields of Provence, sipping cold pink wine and learning all about the beautiful, foods of this spectacular part of the world!
Provence is one of the most beautiful and fertile regions….with mountains, valleys and coastal areas, Provençal fare is filled with beautiful fruits and veggies, cheeses, and Mediterranean-influences. Peyton will share his great love with you for this area of the country, their special ingredients, and all of his French-y tips and tricks during our class and lunch 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.
