Step into the world of French country cooking with an immersive cassoulet experience led by Chef Danny Conkling, formerly from L’Oursin and Sitka & Spruce. Rooted in the Languedoc region of southwest France, this hands-on gathering explores the slow, intentional process behind cassoulet, the iconic white bean stew long associated with warmth, patience, and conviviality.

Together, we will learn to build the dish from the ground up, including how to source and select the right ingredients, cook the beans, prepare duck confit, braise meats, and form the signature golden crust. As we work, Danny will share the history and regional traditions of cassoulet alongside practical, time-tested techniques suited to the home kitchen. We will finish by sitting down to enjoy the cassoulet we have prepared, alongside a seasonal salad and a simple, traditional French dessert.

At each Bella Luna class you will get the chance to enjoy Bellsong Creamery cheeses, sip a glass of something special, and gather around a beautifully prepared meal.
