The Art of French Pastry
Description
Be transported to Paris' Le Cordon Bleu for an evening of French Pastry!
In this memorable, hands-on class, you will learn the art of French Choux pastry. Choux has the reputation for being difficult, but it’s surprisingly simple! Our Pastry Chef Instructor will take you through a detailed demonstration, before you will be guided step-by-step in replicating how to make the perfect choux dough, piping, baking and filling to create Eclairs and Cream Puffs! Master these easy recipes and you can make many pastries most bakers are scared to try! Before you know it you will have also learnt the basics to Gougères, Churros, French Cruller Donuts and Choux Beignets!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you’re part of a large group. Guests in the same booking party will sit and work together throughout the class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Outside drinks are not allowed. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. 21+ only.

So much fun (both to make and eat the pastry)! Chef was informative and helpful but didn't make us feel pressure to do everything to perfection.

The experience was Awesone Chef Felix was great. He explain everything to us then we created it our self! Very happy about the cooking experience.
As for the venue it was on a covered terrace and that day they were having trouble with the heat! It was January in NYC! They should have accommodated with another room or brought space heaters. The chef apologized a bunch of times. Being a New Yorker I thought, just tough it out. We were all shivering even leaving the room to get warmth! and I woke up this morning sneezing and chilled to the bone! Absolutely not cool! The venue should have handled this better!
