Holiday giving can be tough. But for the gourmet chef or oenophile, we have an idea: a trip to the City of Light, together with a Four Seasons Paris food and wine masterclass. The iconic hotel, referred to by its fans as simply the George V, will host four of these masterclasses from January to April 2023, two of them led by Chef Christian Le Squer, who helms the three Michelin-starred Le Cinq, and two led by Eric Beaumard, Director of Le Cinq Restaurant and Sommelier of the World silver medallist:
20 Years of Excellence: Discover Chef Le Squer's Signature Dishes – Sunday, January 8, 2023
This January masterclass from 9:30am-2pm, which begins with breakfast in Le Cinq, will help participants learn to prepare the chef's famous Ham, Mushroom and Truffle Spaghetti, an exquisite creation made with truffle and gold leaf timbale that honors the pasta gratin that his mother lovingly prepared every week when he was a child. Guests will also learn how to prepare the chef’s Gratinated Onion, a twist on a traditional Parisian bistro favorite that is particularly dear to Le Squer as it was the first dish he created when he took the helm at Le Cinq Restaurant. The class concludes with an intimate lunch with the chef in Le Cinq, privatized for the occasion – the perfect opportunity to enjoy a wonderful afternoon filled with indulgence.
