A hands-on baking class. Class is limited to 12 students. A seasonal salad, cheeses, fruits and nuts will accompany the baked goods for dinner and will be served with wine and beer. 

Although Japanese sweets (wagashi) have a long history, baking in Japan is a recent phenomenon. Japanese "borrowed" the cakes and breads from other baking cultures in Europe making it their own and often improving it. Having lived in Japan for several years and being well-versed in the science of baking, Jennifer will teach you the techniques behind some beloved Japanese sweets and treats.
