Les Petit Farcis

I had the most amazing time with Rosa on her market tour and cooking class! It is a «must do» in my opinion. I gained so much knowledge and had a wonderful time cooking and meeting with fellow explorers of Nice. I will never forget this experience and plan on doing it again. The pictures I posted don’t do the food justice. I walked away so satisfied and full! Thank you Rosa!

A day with Rosa Jackson is a day well spent for food fans visiting Nice. You meet her in the market in the morning and learn about the history and culture of Nice. Rosa then takes you through the market pointing out the local specialties as well as identifying some of the better vendors and products… Where do you get the best socca and when does the guy that makes the fig nougat show up??? A visit to the wine store, then the cheese store then you are off to Rosa’s apartment where Rosa shows you how to prepare the days purchases in the Nicoise manner. So what do you with what you cook? You eat it, of course.
We prepared and had a great four course meal. For starts, a salad with braised artichokes, followed by a lotte bourride with boiled potatoes and aioli. Four local cheeses make up the cheese course and desert consisted of a strawberry and raspberry gratin. All of this was accompanied by delightful local wines.
Groups have a maximum of six. We were a group of four friends and that worked out well. It is an all day commitment and a lot of fun. Don’t miss the opportunity.
