Johanna Kindvall is bringing you a taste of Sweden over Zoom! We really enjoyed hosting Johanna at our 18th St. Classroom in 2019 (we're still talking about the chocolate cake and cinnamon rolls) and so happy to have her back "in our classroom" thanks to the internet. This class will take you to Sweden (via Johanna's kitchen in NY) for a special midsummer lunch with fresh potatoes, hot-smoked salmon, and pickles. Johanna will also teach you how to bake and roll out the Swedish classic rye crispbread, knäckebröd, as well as a simple method for homemade aquavit. Skål (cheers in Swedish)!
