Quiches et tartes aux légumes / Cordon Bleu Jour 8

Yesterday was my last class at the CB.  I wish I had more time in Paris to attend a few more classes.  I've learned so many things, and can't wait to get back to my own kitchen and get cooking!  And I've definitely got a better understanding of French cuisine to share with my students.

My Chef for the day was the same as my first lesson, so it was a nice way to end my studies.  Plus, he's just really funny! 

We spent 3 hours in the kitchen, and made these delicious tarts:

Tarte aux légumes provençale
Provençal style vegetable tart

Quiche au chèvre et au cresson
Goat's cheese and watercress quiche

Most of my time was spent cutting and slicing and chopping, because the pissaladière had so many vegetables: onions, garlic, zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and basil.  I really need to...pardon the pun...sharpen my knife skills!

I am very thankful for the Fund for Teachers grant that allowed me to participate in such a rich cultural experience!
