Participants will assemble their own cassoulets from cooked beans, duck confit, sausage, and pork belly. You will be taught how to layer the ingredients and dive into discussions of the preparation of the parts. After assembling, your cassoulets are packed up for you to take home to cook or freeze, and everyone sits down to enjoy a pre-cooked cassoulet along with a glass of whatever you care to bring to savour with this quintessential French Winter comfort food.
