Chef Bill


(Jacques Nicolini)

I've decided to try to learn the basics of French cooking and signed up for a 3 month class with the Universite Populaire here in Uzes. The location alternates between the classroom, where chef Jacques Nicolini presents the theory behind classic French cuisine as well as history, regulations and anecdotes, and Jacques' home in nearby Aubussargues where we do the "hands on". Our first recipe was a "Tarte au Pomme", which was delicious. Future classes will feature "Canard a l'Orange" and "Foie Gras". It's a class where I look forward to the homework.

Ooohhhh, Malcolm was telling me about this Tarte au Pomme!!! It looks delicious, Bill! Can I have the recipe? Tell Gisèle that I made the tapenade roll biscuits the other day and they were fabulous!
Love,
