Cooking Classes 2006

French native Gerard Lopez, co-owner and chef at The Elephant Walk in Cambridge, teaches classes at the Cambridge restaurant. Gerard generously donated the entire proceeds from the following class to NKFC

Saturday, May 6th - Fusion: French with a Cambodian Twist
In this class Gérard will teach how to prepare Asian-influenced French cuisine. Emphasizing consideration for the essential nature of different cultural techniques and ingredients and how they work together – well and poorly – the goal is a lesson on how to avoid pitfalls on the road to a successful fusion meal, on how you can experiment yourself with confidence.
