Cooking classes in Paris during lunch time (you eat what you cooked)
It's better if you can understand a little french. If you don't it can be ok because you will be watching the chef doing it while he speaks. You can always bring a dictionary or prepare yourself a little list of french-english cooking words. Maybe you are lucky and the chef of the day speaks enough english. Or check before hand which chefs speak english before signing. You can always write and ask them directly.

Great place to eat what you prepared and for 15 euros!
Need a little french to understand the chef's directions. Booking is done only by internet, though you need to reserve in advance because it's becoming quite popular and courses close fast. Just checked their website and the have opened also in Bordeaux and Lyon.
Great experience and I loved it because you actually cook! They usually have good chefs as teachers. The price includes the ingredients.

Goal International - Peruvian in Hartford CT
Ok! Here is a good one if you can have all the ingredients.. for 6-8 people..
3 chicken filets or 1 (2 gk) whole chicken boiled (keep broth)
2 chopped onions
2 garlic cloves (grounded)
3 tblsp grounded or puree aji mirasol or aji amarillo (yellow/orange peruvian chili)
4 bread slices (you can add more if necessary)
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 to 1/2 cup evaporated milk
100-150 grs pecan nuts or walnuts roughly minced
100-150 grs grated parmesan cheese
boiled eggs (1/2 per person)
boiled potatoes
olives (optional)
Chicken: Boil it with a carrot, a celery branch, salt and pepper (and any other veg you like). Let it cool down, break into bite size pieces with your hands and set aside (you can do this a day or two in advance). Keep around a cup of broth.
In a saucepan:
Heat oil and fry onion, garlic, and chili peppers. If you cannot find "aji mirasol", use other chili and add some curcuma, turmeric or safran to colour. You can do it without the chili if you don't like spicy food.
Salt and pepper to taste. Fry until golden. Add soaked bread (without the water), broth and milk.
If you want to have a smooth result, use a blender or a food processor (I use a hand mixer) to mix everything well. Consistency has to be like a thick cream, if it's too runny or liquid, add some more soaked bread and mix again. If it's too thick, add milk or broth.
Add chicken, parmesan cheese and chopped nuts. Cook slowly for 5 to 10 minutes more, stirring.
You can always change amount of ingredients to your taste.
There is no "one" recipe, but ingredients are the same.
Serve over halved potatoes and decorate on top with eggs quartered lengthwise, and a couple of olives if you want.
We eat it with pilaf rice.
Pilaf rice:
1 measure rice
1 1/2 measure water
ground garlic, salt
In a saucepan: in a little oil, fry ground garlic a bit add water, rice and salt. Taste water (has to be a little salty). Cover and let cook on high heat until steam comes out (around 5 min), then bring down heat to the lowest. Takes around 20 minutes to be ready to eat.
