In Thursday’s cooking class, me and my fellow students created tasty dishes which parisians love. Everyone had the opportunity in cutting the various ingredients for dishes and cooking the chicken in the pan under supervision. The appetizer dish seen above includes blends of asparagus and cream, along with pieces of flower, asparagus heads, and buttered shrimp. Unfortunately, I was not able to eat this dish. But, according to my colleagues the dish was delicious with the creamy soup base. They also admired the flowers which decorated the appetizer.

In the two pictures above you will see the entree dish. It contains well-seasoned chicken with pistachios and apricots. The sweetness of the apricots combated very nicely with the pistachios.

After making some meals, we headed to our next destination where we learned about street art and the rich culture behind it in Paris. At first, we learned how graffiti and stencils showed expression and were ways to visually show their feelings about politics. This remains true in modern day, however street art has also turned into a way artists can communicate with the locals and tourists. In addition, street art is an amazing way for artists to tell a story.
