Live Cooking Classes with Susan include all the information you need to prepare for the class, including clear instructions and a mise-en-place video, which you get beforehand.  Then, you will be right in Susan’s Paris kitchen, where you will cook together so that, when the class is finished, you will have a meal, complete with side-dish and wine and cheese suggestions.  You can ask questions during the class and zoom in on anything that you want Susan to take a closer look at as you cook together, because you will be together!

The choice is yours. Because Susan is an experienced teacher, she will walk you through everything, holding your hand if you need it, letting you go along on your own if you don’t.  If you just want to watch, you’ll still learn and you’ll be part of something fun, fascinating and, ultimately delish!

At the beginning of each month, you will receive class dates and menus in your inbox, with links to recipes and an ingredient/shopping list.  This information will also be on the site, so you can refer to it easily.

Two days before the class you’ll get a link to a mise-en-place video that will walk you through any prep you need to do before you begin cooking with Susan.

And P.S. – There will be something in your mailbox each month, direct to you from in Paris!

No problem. The classes stay live online for two months, so you can refer to them at your leisure.

Susan has written for a world audience for a long time, and always provides substitution ideas in the recipes if something seems obscure or hard to find.  That said, if you’ve got a question before the class, just send it and we will get right back to you.  contact@dancingtomatoes.com  Remember that your success and delight is our mission, so we want this to be EASY for you!

You won’t want to cancel.  But should the forces require this, you may cancel at any time and we will still like you!  And we’ll make it easy for you to return.

Your subscription is intended for you but we will not police who joins you!

Aha, an important question!  You need an apron, and a stack of tea towels to use as hot pad, spill cleaner-upper, a variety of things.   I also suggest closed-toed, comfortable shoes.  And leave dangling necklaces and bracelets in your jewelry box, sleeves that hang in your closet, and hair that is very, very long tied up and away.  All of these can get in your way in the kitchen.  On the other hand, if you want to have your lovely manicure done the day before the class, make sure it’s the “extra tough” version!

Susan’s food is very plant based and always has been. That said, meat and seafood are part of her repertoire. Every menu varies; she will provide substitute ingredients when appropriate. Her concern is that everyone get maximum enjoyment and learn as much as possible.
