Classic French Cooking Series: Savory Crepes with Salad
Sunday, January 9th
11:00 AM - 12:15 PM Pacific Time
Join Guillaume, our newest chef from France, where he’ll teach how to make a gluten-free savory crepe filled with ham and swiss cheese (or other toppings of your choice), and topped with an egg, followed by another - a sweet option with goat cheese and honey. These crepes pair well with the fresh salad also taught in class!
