So, as you may or may not already know, I moonlight at the Escoffier School of Culinary Arts as a blogger and administrative assistant. Normally, this is not Shoestring news (since cooking school isn’t exactly cheap, though their program is certainly more affordable than most), but today I’ve got a one-day-only deal that qualifies as sufficiently inexpeez to share.
And share I shall!
The Austin campus of the school is starting up its cool new Home Cook program with a few classes at a time, and the latest is “An Evening in Provence.” Here’s what’s on the menu, to get your Pavlovian responses a-running:
- Mesclun Salad
- Pissaladiere (a French take on the ever-popular pizza; see a tasty example below)
- Moules et Frites (Oysters and Fries)
- Chocolate Truffles with Lavender Salt

The class itself is a BYOB affair, so feel free to bring a selection of your choice if you imbibe. There are a grand total of 16 seats available, so space is limited, and it’s a Ladies’ Night deal, so bring your girlfriends!
An awesome daily deal is available through Localiter (an Austin-based take on Groupon) today only (July 7), and will get you a seat at this table for only $35. How cool is that?
Trust me: the ladies in your life will love you if you sign them up for this class. I mean, personally, I think learning how to make chocolate truffles is worth the price of admission. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. And who doesn’t love fine French dining?
