In-home meal (1 - 5 guests) Join your host Etienne at his apartment in one of the loveliest neighborhoods of New York City, the East Village.

For the main course, enjoy a mouth watering poulet basquaise, a traditional chicken ratatouille with rice. To end, enjoy the classic French dessert tarte tatin, and upside-down carmelized apple tart. Or perhaps Etienne will share the secrets of how to make simple, delicious homemade chocolate Nutella crepes!
