Whether you are looking to host a memorable Dim Sum get-together or simply want to create something fresh and bright to welcome in the spring, this is the class you have been looking for! Choice of meat (chicken or pork) & veggies will fill the crispy spring rolls, and fresh veggie and precooked protein of choice will fill the fresh spring rolls. Two types of wrappers will be used. Participants will be able to customize filling ingredients and seasonings according to their taste or dietary preferences and will learn the techniques to create fillings, and how to wrap, roll, and cook both types of rolls! Freezing and reheating tips will also be shared! If children are participating, adult supervision is required. You'll be emailed recipes and a list of ingredients and supplies needed for the icing approximately one week prior to class to provide time for shopping and baking.

NEW! Valentine’s Day is celebrated with sweets as an expression of love. During this class, your child will learn to make a decadent French pastry, known as a chocolate Éclair, filled with pastry cream and covered in chocolate ganache, and another dessert knows as Paczki (Polish Doughnuts) filled with preserves or pastry cream. Participants will be making the Choux pastry (Pâte à Choux), the sweet vanilla pastry cream filling and the ganache and will be learning to cook and build each dessert to a level of excellence. Participants can choose to make either, or both, sweet treats, or simply observe and make later. Adult supervision is required. Equipment Needs: Stand mixer is recommended, as it may be difficult to keep up with the kneading of the dough especially if making it for the first time. The dough is very rich, not your typical yeast dough. NOTE: One registration fee for this virtual class can include immediate family members living full-time in the same home ONLY.
