Working at the Broadmoor for 18 years, I was involved in well over 900 or so odd brunches, from flambéing bananas foster in my early days to making breads and pastries to writing holiday brunch dessert menus for 2000+ people.

Though my right eye may be twitching as I write this post, I have a great love for brunch and all the deliciousness you can accomplish when you hybrid breakfast and lunch together.
Bold Brunches is taught by our own Chef Christine, who brings her warmth, charm, and years of experience to every class she teaches.

The food in this class will warm the soul and delight the palate as you take part in what can be described as a southwestern, Mexican, and Puerto Rican-influenced menu. Everyone in class will cook the food collectively to share at the end of class. That’s right, you not only cook brunch, but you get to sit down and enjoy it along with a champagne cocktail.

If I had to pick a favorite dish, and you should know I have a hard time picking favorites, it would be the chorizo biscuits and gravy. Scratch made jalapeno cheddar biscuits and a slightly spicy creamy gravy, face-meltingly good.

Upcoming Open Class:

September 20, 2026 - 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
March 21, 2027 - 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

"Cake making and decorating in 3 hours? Chef Nate, you must be crazy…”, and crazy I am, crazy for cakes. 😅

Soon after I started at the Broadmoor, I was responsible for baking all the cakes for the weddings. Now, I wasn’t yet allowed to decorate the cakes, the decorators at that time I held in such lofty esteem that it seemed like they were on a different plane of existence. Soon, I learned that it was a skill like any other that took practice, dedication, and time to master.

Demystifying pastry techniques and making them more approachable is my mantra here at The French Kitchen. That being said we also discuss not only cake baking, but high altitude baking tips in general. Once we have the 4 different cakes baked to perfection, each station of 2 makes a different icing/frosting to decorate their cakes with.

We pause and take some time to kick it “old school” and make some decorations out of marzipan, to me one of those dying arts that is in desperate need of revival. We make adorable marzipan carrots to decorate the carrot cake with cream cheese icing. If you like chocolate, the Grandma’s Chocolate Cake with Fudge will hit so hard you might have to sit down. Don’t let me leave the white wedding cake and delicious strawberry cake with whipped cream icing out because they too are heavy hitters.

Everyone goes home with a big box of 4: 1 quarter portion of each cake effectively makes 1 whole cake out of 4 different cakes. Better do some arm stretches before you come because it is a lot of cake.

Good Day, Friends in Food. 👋
If there were one class that wrapped you with the warm embrace of food and family.🤌
Leaning heavily into her Italian upbringing in one of the country's biggest melting pots, New York, Christine transforms the typical 3-hour French Kitchen class into a celebration of community, food, and love.💛
Once she came to me with this idea, I was immediately on board. Not being Italian myself, but growing up in Western PA surrounded by a substantial Italian population, I yearn for the warm smells of simmering meat sauce, perfectly cooked pasta, and a crispy eggplant parm. Though in all honesty, I prefer chicken… unapologetic carnivore here.
Oh, don’t let me forget to mention the arancini, which is so good it was all I could do not to tell people to turn away as I took them all. Come one and all to a fantastic exploration of Italian American classics that not only warm the belly but the heart as well.
