The Deal

Centerstage Chicago says you'll thank the chefs and instructors at Bucktown's Cook Au Vin "for bringing a little taste of the City of Light to Chitown." The school's hands-on, gourmet cooking classes have earned an impressive 4.5-star rating from Yelp users, and with this exclusive Local Deal, subscribers can book any class including the special holiday-themed menu created specifically for Travelzoo starting at $75 per person, regularly $150. Save even more and book classes as a group.

Select from the following packages:
• For $75, regularly $150, book a class for one
• For $149, regularly $300, book a class for two
• For $285, regularly $600, book a class for four
• For $799, book a private class for up to 12, regularly $1800

Travelzoo is the first to offer students the new four-course, holiday-themed "Le Cotillion" and "Le Cousteau" menus, where you'll learn cooking fundamentals like knife skills and temperature control as well as how to create gourmet French food. Dishes include sauteed pear wrapped in smoked salmon; tournedos of turkey created with molecular gastronomy techniques and paired with a savory cranberry sauce; scallops with lemon and truffle oil; lobster Thermidor; and flambeed baked Alaska, where students will learn to safely set food aflame.

Students can also enroll in Cook Au Vin's popular bread-making classes, where students learn to create traditional French baguettes, sourdough and multigrain breads, or the pastry-making class, where students make their own eclairs, chocolate ganache, chocolate truffles and macarons.
