Master Class: French Local Bistro with Michael Gelinas from Vue Events

Hi to all of our IWFS Victoria Members who have attended or shown interest in our previous Cooking Masterclasses.

As announced at our previous events, we are running a cooking masterclassten days from now on Tuesday 20^th June.  There is a limit of only 11 places so please be quick to book if you are keen to attend.  The cost for Young Members (under 36) is $90, for Members is $100, and $110 for Guests.

Our previous Confit Duck, Gravlax, Normandy, Dim Sum, Indian, Pasta and Soufflé classes were great fun.  Now we are going to present you with a Local French Bistro theme - a typical French Bistro Menu which presents some of the key dishes that you will find at a French Bistro. 

This will be presented by our fabulous Young Member Michael Gelinas.  Michael is Canadian and has worked in some top restaurants in Canada and New York, including 3 Michelin star restaurants.  He is now living in Melbourne and is currently the Head of Events at Vue de Monde.  He has previously presented masterclasses for us on Soufflés and Filled Pasta.  Check out the menu below – it looks great.  Of course we will share supper and complimentary wines with the dishes that have been prepared. 

Menu:

• Oysters Mignonette and Oysters Rockefeller (‘hot versus cold’ oysters to compare and enjoy with Champagne to start)
• Tarte Flambée (Caramelized onion and bacon tart)
• Steak frites with béarnaise sauce and a classic, simple salad
• Crème brûlée

This means you will get to see how to prepare a classic French tarte, how to cook the perfect steak, chips and béarnaise sauce, and the classic French dessert – Crème brûlée.  It will be accompanied by some delicious matching wines.

Where and When:

The class will be held in South Yarra, on Tuesday 20 June with a 7pm start.

Cost for Young Members (Under 36) is $90, for Members is $100, and for Guests is $110
