Le Cordon Bleu Spice Taste Workshop
I’m in Paris teaching some cooking classes and taste workshops.

A big thanks to WICE cooking Director Mary O’leary and Sandra Messier, Marketing and communications Manager at Le Cordon Bleu for organizing a sold-out event.
I also appreciated the excellent participants from WICE who came with great questions, a willingness to taste all sorts of spices and foods and have fun with food.
