Hinsdale Class Schedule:
Fall classes will begin October 25 on Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings. In response to a recent survey the emphasis this season is on healthy dishes that combine beans, grains or rice with dark greens and fall vegetables. Holiday inspired workshops include boned, stuffed turkey and a wine and food paired menu. Come join us in ChezM"s interactive classroom.

Chez Madelaine tours to Paris 2012:
You will want to make reservations for next year's culinary tours in Montmartre before prices rise January 2012. Choose a week in April or September, fill out the enrollment form and send a deposit. These personalized tours introduce French food lovers to the warm, village atmosphere of Montmartre, its plentiful markets and to the gourmet food and equipment stores in downtown Paris. Each tour is limited to five participants.
We can stay in touch throughout the year via my frequent blog entries. You will find recipes, restaurant reviews, observations on the culinary scene and an occasional rant. Your comments are always welcome. If you would like to receive word of a new posting, please send me your email address (
