On Saturday morning, Erik and I met Alex at the Caroussel du Louvre to go the the salon Cuisinez! It was advertised as a cooking fair, with cooking classes included in the ticket price, as well as displays by many food producers and food related things.
We quickly realized that the cooking classes weren't all they were adverstised to be. There were only four cooking class venues, and sign up for the classes only opened 20 minutes before the class began. And the classes were only for about 15 people at a time. So, people were basically lining up at noon to sign up for a class at 4:00. Not having paid to stand in line, we moved on...
Luckily there were other things to see and do, many of the food vendors were offering free samples, and we tried some fantastic bread, a cointreau martini (yum!), some cookies, wine, and other things.
All in all it was an interesting experience, but the venue was way too small, and the whole event just seemed poorly organized.
We salvaged the rest of the day with an awesome Vietnamese lunch in Chinatown, and then Alex made us some awesome curry for dinner that we ate in her way-too-cute apartment.
Our food themed weekend continued today with chocolate.....
