April
France and Germany have ruled this northeast region of France off and on throughout history, due to changing governments and numerous wars. In 1945, after World War II, the geographic area was returned to France, and it remains French property to this day. As a result, the cuisine is greatly influenced by traditional German recipes and is unique throughout France. We will prepare a traditional Alsatian meal that highlights the meats, cheeses, fruit and the light, floral wines from the area. Please bring an apron and 3 containers with lids to transport your food. Instructor: Machelle Rosenlieb. Fee: $40M/$50R/$55NR
