Frying Pans... 10/07

Here's what New Hampshire Magazine had to write about Ron in their October 2007 issue: Frying Pans and Lesson Plans
By Susan Laughlin Ron Boucher, formerly of Ron's Landing in Hampton Beach, opened his Chez Boucher French Cooking School almost five years ago, now located in Hampton.
Boucher feels the foundation of good cooking is in French technique -- "If you master that you can understand other cuisines." After all, the French, with their military occupation, even influenced Vietnamese cooking, and the popular French Brasserie cooking style is a melding of French, Asian, Spanish and Indian influences. Boucher offers one of the most intense programs available in the area. His new professional series is 16 weeks of food handling, prep and production, plus eight weeks of externship. Most of his students for that program become working chefs, but a few just wanted the experience. Other programs offered at Chez Boucher include multi-week sessions on French cuisine, pastry and international cooking. He also offers the fun-oriented Supper Club nights and couples cooking classes. New offerings include "Gourmet-to-Go," where participants assemble meals for the week, similar to the Dream Dinners concept, but with more emphasis on quality. Some of his workshops are available as podcasts or DVDs, including one about holiday hors d'oeuvres.
