Mini-Zooms
About Mini-Zooms
AF DuPage continues a new concept – the mini-Zoom session – a 20 minute focused presentation on a French-themed subject.
Most sessions will take place on Thursday afternoons promptly at 12:30 pm, a perfect midday break to add some French culture into your schedule.
The topics and presenters will vary. Most will be conducted in English, but we may add some French language mini-Zooms into the mix. Zoom links are reserved for AF DuPage members and will be sent out the day before the session. Visit our Membership page to join or renew your membership.
Do you have a great idea for a mini-zoom? We would love to hear about it. Please contact us at afdupage@gmail.com with your ideas.

Tarte Tatin
Of all the iconic French dishes, Tarte Tatin holds a special place in the hearts
(and tummies) of many gastronomes. What’s not to like? The recipe features an upside-down version of an apple pie, with baked apples, buttery puff pastry crust held together with a caramelly sauce.
