CHEZ FRANCOIS COOKING CLASS: COQ AU VIN

ONE OF THE MOST EMBLEMATIC DISHES IN FRENCH CUISINE HISTORY!!

Learn how to cook Coq au Vin with Chez François French Cooking Meetup Group!

During this class, we will cook together Coq au Vin, one of the most emblematic dishes in French Cuisine history and one of the most frequently served courses in French Restaurants! Coq au Vin is the classic French stew made of chicken slowly braised in red wine and vegetables, finally becoming a supremely rich sauce filled with tender meat, bacon, carrots, mushrooms, and pearl onions. According to an old legend, the Gauls decided to taunt Julius Caesar by sending him a rooster, recognized as the symbol of bravery. Caesar retaliated by having the rooster cooked in red wine, at the time, a symbol of wealth and power! Over the centuries, the French re-invented this recipe which became the pride of France!

Tips:

1. Your dish is all about great quality chicken!.. so you should purchase large pieces of chicken, they will cook for a while in the sauce so they need to be very big and meaty!

2. You do not need to purchase an expensive red wine as the wine will only be used for marinating and cooking. Though I would recommend to keep it French!

LIST OF COOKWARE AND ACCESSORIES:

• 1 stockpot or dutch oven • 1 frying pan • 1 large bowl - 1 wood spoon - 1 fine-mesh strainer - wrap film - kitchen towel

“We just took our 7th Zoom cooking class from Chez Francois. We've really enjoyed Chez Francois's authentic recipes. He's very talented and patient and he's from Lyon, France, the gastronomic heart of France. We've had some excellent French dinners (and chocolate mousse, too) and learned so many food-prep techniques from Chez Francois.“
