As you all know I am crazy about Christmas in Paris. Every December I post photos of all the Christmas windows, festivities, and special events. This year I am expanding my love of Christmas to my cooking classes and tours.
Charlotte has devised a spectacular Christmas menu for our December cooking classes. Don't salivate all over your computer when you read it.
