A hands-on baking class. A hearty savory snack of bread, cheese, cured meats, fruit, and a seasonal salad will be served with wine. You are also welcome to brown bag an alternative dinner.
The mention of custard brings memories of comforting food, whether a sabayon poured over roasted fruit, or a pie filling, like those warm egg tarts fresh from a Chinese bakery. Indeed, custards make their way into many desserts around the world, and a few of them will illuminate custard's elements in this class. Join Jennifer in our classroom to learn the different types of custards from egg and starch-based, to baked and stirred. Working with your fellow classmates in teams, you'll practice baking a smooth & creamy crème brûlée, panna cotta, clafoutis, and even a savory flan, earning your stripes in custard making!
