Bagels!

A hands-on cooking class culminating in a meal of a seasonal salad and the baked goods served with wine and beer.

Ahhh, bagels. A staple of the breakfast table, bagels also incite discussions on who makes the best ones. Learn how to make your own fresh bagels with Jennifer Altman: how to make the dough, form it into bagels, boil them, bake them, and eat them! Jennifer will also share some recipes behind a variety of delectable schmears.

MENU:

Three styles of bagels: Montreal-style, cinnamon-raisin, 100% whole grain bagels

Schmears:

Roasted red pepper and parmesan cream cheese
Scallion and black pepper cream cheese
Lox and dill cream cheese
Lemon-herb cream cheese
Salted honey butter
Fresh berry cream cheese

We'll add a salad to complement the dinner spread.  And as stomachs have limits, there will be leftover bagels to take home from class!
