Step into our kitchen for a rare opportunity: a hands-on cooking class with Tony Esnault, who has worked in some of the world’s most exacting kitchens. Class attendees will work side by side with Chef Esnault in the Knife Pleat kitchen, prepping and cooking a starter, main course and dessert under his guidance. Rooted in the philosophy he learned as a child on his grandparents’ farm in the Loire Valley, each class centers on technique and seasonal produce, so the menu changes with the time of year, built around ingredients at their peak.
The morning is spent cooking (10 a.m. to noon), followed by a seated three-course lunch (noon to 1 p.m.), featuring the starter, main course and dessert that you’ve prepared.
With just four guests per class, this is an intimate, personal experience that welcomes all skill levels.
The inaugural cooking classes will be held Saturday, October 24 and Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Each class is limited to four guests, at $450 per guest. Reservations may be made by calling 714-266-3388.
