AN AMERICAN IN PARIS Exclusive Masterclass With Chef Daniel Rose

Moving to France as a young man, Daniel Rose had no idea that he would become one of the great evangelists for the country’s classic cuisine. But his joie de vivre has left a lasting impression on Parisians, and New Yorkers alike. Experience his unique energy for yourself, as you cook beside him, discovering what makes this man so controversial. Unique in his approach to food and life, he is guaranteed to make you fall in love with all things French.‘In France, they say le vrai and à peu près: the real and the approximate. In life, we’re striving to fill it with things that are real and avoid things that are approximate,’ Daniel Rose says. Spending nearly two decades in France—learning, experimenting, and cooking—he was able to figure out what in life was approximate and what was real.Transferring the ‘realness’ of French cuisine across the oceans, Rose opened his first American establishment, Le Coucou, in New York. Here he wanted to test his belief that French food and great French restaurants were engineered to give people a good time. Test out his theory yourself as you dine at this acclaimed restaurant after your masterclass, sampling vivid characterful creations and a smattering of selected wines. (Hint: Le Coucou took home the prize for the country’s best new restaurant in 2017).
