Join me for a delicious adventure where we explore the delightful world of dumplings, connecting the flavours of Japan and Reunion Island. I’ll share my personal connection to gyoza, a family recipe taught to me by my Japanese mother-in-law, and introduce you to the vibrant, kaffir lime-infused bouchons, a beloved street food from Reunion.
What you’ll learn:
We will make the dumpling dough from scratch
Create two flavourful fillings: pork and chicken.
Master the art of folding and pan-frying perfect gyoza.
Steam fragrant bouchons, capturing the essence of Reunion Island.
Prepare a unique dipping sauce, straight from Reunion.
Then, it’s time to eat. Take a seat at my table and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
This is more than just a cooking class; it’s a journey through personal stories and vibrant flavours. We’ll celebrate the joy of cooking and sharing a meal together, enjoying the dumplings you’ve created.
For me, cooking is more than just a skill, it’s a lifelong passion ignited in my childhood.
Though I was born on the sun-kissed island of Réunion, it was growing up in the heart of Provence that truly shaped my culinary foundation. The vibrant energy of my Réunionnais roots, combined with the refined techniques of French cuisine, creates a unique blend that you’ll experience in every class at Gourmandises Académie.
I believe in adding a touch of sunshine to every meal, and you’ll find that reflected in my signature dishes, where I playfully incorporate tropical Réunionnais flavours into sophisticated French classics.
All the recipes we explore at Gourmandises Académie are my own original creations, born from countless hours of experimentation and a deep love for sharing delicious food.
It was an honour to have received three stars in the Great Taste Awards, a testament to the dedication poured into each dish. I’m thrilled to open my home and share these “gourmandises” with you, inviting you to discover new flavours and techniques in a warm and inspiring environment.
