Bakery visitors don their aprons for a virtual tour of the old-world countryside with instructor Anna Mays. A four-hour course blends a walk through French culinary history with stops along the way to prepare — and eat — savory puff pastry, cups of creamy celeriac soup, endive salads and an epic cheese plate. Sweet-potato-blueberry crème brûlée makes for a sweet finish.
