Black Paris Divas enjoyed yet another fun-filled day of cooking and walking earlier this month. First, the group met for a lunchtime cooking class, where participants prepared pan-seared, roasted salmon with bearnaise sauce,

After breaking bread together, we left the cooking school for a gourmet walk that featured the concept of terroir, which means everything that goes into the environment from which food items emerge - soil, sun, wind, altitude... The flavor of everything that we eat and drink - wine, olives, butter, and even chocolate - is affected by terroir.

Participant Almetta Vaughn, who purchased three Food for the Soul (soul food) cookbooks and signed up to join the Entrée to Black Paris community after the class, had the following to say:
"Monique knows Black Paris!! Her tour taught me about ... the culture which includes the food, wines, and lifestyle. I will proudly recommend her to anyone who goes to Paris to feel the black experience."
