WHAT IS THIS COURSE ALL ABOUT

Susan Herrmann Loomis in a kitchen with apples

Plat du Jour is a virtual cooking course which includes six four course menus that you will want to prepare over and over. The menus are carefully planned so that the dishes are coherent and balanced, yet the recipes of each menu are interchangeable. So, if you want to mix and match you can, depending on the season and availability of ingredients where ever you find yourself.

Plat du Jour offers so much

There are the menus, of course, but there is also a collection of fundamental recipes that you will turn to time and again. They act as the basis of the dishes, and you’ll find ways to insert them into other parts of your culinary repertoire as well. And the Fundamentals will continue to evolve over time as we identify more we think you’ll be happy to have on hand.  So while entirely filmed, Plat du Jour is a living course. And like a fine wine or cheese, it gets better all the time as it is curated and cared for!

Plat du Jour is based on the dishes that have withstood the test of time and deliciousness throughout the ages, with the addition of contemporary versions of these dishes as well. Many of the main dishes have emerged from a peasant cuisine into starred delights, the side-dishes can be transformed into main dishes, the desserts that will make you the cook everyone turns to as their idol and dessert guru, and the appetizers make  each meal begin with a flavorful welcome.

Get Plat du Jour now. It’s fifty two videos, recipes, tips and hints are just waiting for you, as you’ve been waiting for it!

Testimonials

See what they're saying about cooking with Susan!

Personal connection to the food

Susan is incredibly knowledgeable and generous in sharing her culinary wisdom. At her online cooking classes I learned an enormous amount from her in a very short time. She has a deep personal connection to the food she prepares and her enthusiasm made it feel like I was actually in the kitchen with her. And she’s funny - we need more humor in the kitchen. The meal I cooked with Susan was absolutely delicious. I couldn’t ask for more.

Deliciously crafted classes

No matter how many classes I take from Susan, I always learn something new. Susan is a wealth of culinary information. Her online cooking classes with Dancing Tomatoes are deliciously crafted and I can duplicate her menus for an easy weeknight meal. I look forward to seeing more of Susan via these ongoing classes.
