Fonds Du Cuisine Cooking School
The cooking school at the Walloon lake Inn takes place in the same kitchen that is used by the restaurant. Working in this commercial environment enables the student to take advantage of those aspects that are unique to fine dinning restaurants. There are interactive discussions in regards to timing ,i.e. when to start recipes so that they are done at the desired time. We also discuss how far in advance one can prepare recipes so that when entertaining students efforts can be organized on a more manageable schedule. The cornucopia of flavors available at the Inn allows students to try different variations to any recipe. In either the two or
four day format the cooking class is dedicated to allowing students
the opportunity to absorb as much information as possible.
A maximum class size of six insures that this is possible.
Should the class decide it would like to discuss various
types
of fresh artichokes or cuts of meat the small class size allows these
interest to be satisfied. The small class size also means that
participation is totally hands on. Classes begin
at 8:30 am and each day we make an appetizer, bread, at least two
sauces, an entree, dessert, starch, and vegetable. We take a
15
minute break at 10:00 and eat the menu that we have prepared
that morning . The price for the two day class is $310.00 with lodging and $180.00 without [does not include tax or gratuity]. Those dates in late April and early May will feature Morels when available. March 17-18 April 21-22 May 12-13 June 2-3 The four day class share the same format but has a more extensive curriculum and is priced at $545.00 with lodging and $360.00 March 12-15 April 16-19 May 14-18 June 4-7 Overnight

The
"Fonds du Cuisine " cooking school was started in 1981. The idea
was to provide local residents with an option to expand their culinary
skills. It's local popularity is evidenced by the fact that is has
drawn from area localities such as Charlevoix, Boyne City,
Bay Harbor, Petoskey and Harbor Springs. In addition to its local
popularity students have come from as far away as Europe and
Australia. The curriculum is focused with an emphasis on
technique rather than ingredients. This focus allows
students to apply learned skills to other recipes.
