Chef Dandine transported us to the French cuisine of Provence with the green peas, carrot juice, and fresh red snapper. The aromas started to come together as he fried thick trips of bacon as the base for the peas and onions. \u00a0The fresh aromas of thyme came together with the carrot juice in the pan as he prepared the sauce. \u00a0The\u00a0ros\u00e9 was being poured\u00a0freely as we anticipated our dish. \u00a0There is something about the crisp taste of a cold\u00a0ros\u00e9 that can transport you to sunnier destinations from just a sip.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"whUBs-JIWRc\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\"

get recipe cards but I did get inspired by our cooking demonstration to make something similar at home. \u00a0I fried thick cut bacon, added peas, baby onions and served it over pan seared cod. \u00a0Not exactly Michelin star cuisine, but I was definitely inspired to get back into my kitchen after the class. \u00a0I was not only inspired to cook the French cuisine of Provence but to one day soon frolic in the lavender fields with\u00a0ros\u00e9 in hand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1328\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption
