From baguettes to beef burgundy, the food and culinary styles of France have made an indelible mark on today’s American cuisine. In this course, French native Anaïs Jandot presents an historical look at the many ways that France has contributed to the American palate. The class includes tastings and preparation demonstrations of a few of her favorite French dishes with special focus on those of her hometown of Lyon, France's culinary capital.

October is the month for welcoming the Fall Season and for celebrating the Fall in style at an OKTOBERFEST. The month brings to mind eating Sauerbraten (marinated pot roast), Hot German Potato Salad, Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage, Green Beans with Spaetzle, and for desert Apfelkuchen (apple cake) with pecans. Enjoy dining on all those and learn how to make your own pretzels. Our presenter and culinary wizard is Lindsey Payne, the owner of Lindsey’s Culinary Market, 520 North Thomas Street in Athens. Registration is due by Friday, October 6th. (Beer & wine extra)
