Onion Soup - Paris
Endive Salad - Picardy (North East)
Quiche Lorraine - Lorraine (Mid-East)
Basque Chicken - Basque country (South West)
Gratin Dauphinoise - Dauphiné (South East)
Norman Apple Tart - Normandy (North West)
My "team" was responsible for the Endive Salad with Roquefort and Walnuts, as well as the Apple Tart for dessert. While I can't really say I learnt all that much about the secrets of French Cuisine, I certainly had an entertaining Sunday morning. And I got to eat 6 dishes from 6 different regions.
While I'm not a dessert person, and I wasn't blown away by the Gratin (it's scalloped potatoes without the cheese), there were some dishes that I enjoyed. I may have discovered a way to eat endives (I normally hate them). In the next few weeks, I have a feeling I will be making the Onion Soup, and maybe the Basque Chicken. I'll post recipes as well, so everyone can have their own culinary Tour de France.
This event was co-hosted by the Volkshochschule Heidelberg, and the 4th annual Französiche Woche (French Week).

cooking school sounds fun!
This sounds like a good way to get other people to make other courses for you so you can have a multi-course meal. Looking forward to the recipe for the Basque Chicken. It sounds good already!
I would love to do something like that! Sounds fun :)
It was OK, not what I was expecting, but OK.
Murasaki: I think you're right - the point must have been to cook a multi-course meal in 1 hour. I'll post the recipe soon.
I love the idea of a cooking club! I wonder if there are ''classes'' like this available where I live...or, I suppose I could start one myself! :)
Looking forward to the recipes you'll post!
