You may have visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. but how about seeing it again in a new light?
For this guided tour in collaboration with the Alliance Française of Washington, D.C., Tosca Ruggieri curates a special visit of French Art on view at the NGA. Due to the planned closures of some galleries, we won't be able to do a full tour as in previous times. This particular tour will cover the time period from the Barbizon School to Early Modern Art
Meeting point: outside the National Gallery of Art’s West Wing entrance located on Constitution Avenue, perpendicular to 6th St NW. See the picture of the entrance below.
Allez, on y va !?
Join us to get transported to the French Riviera with Anina Belle Giannini, author of Le Chef's Wife blog, American-Canadian hotelier, and passionate cook, enamored with the culture of southern France and French joie de vivre. Anina Belle together with her French husband Chef Sébastien will show how to make authentic Olive Tapenade, which pairs well with Kir Royal, and Branzino with la sauce Vierge.
This event will be in English with a smattering of French cooking terms. We hope many of you will participate and cook along, but you are equally welcome to just join in, watch and ask questions.
You will find all recipe instructions on Le Chef's Wife's blog: Kir Royal, Olive Tapenade, Branzino. Follow @lechefswife on Instagram or visit www.lechefswife.com for easy-to-make French recipes and tips for living a French Riviera-inspired life in the USA.
