Intro to French Pastry
Be transported to Paris, via Logan Square, for an afternoon of learning the art 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 4-5 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! Chef Yanni will 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 baking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. This event is BYOB (one bottle per couple please).
Chef Yanni owes her talents to her years of study at the Culinary Institute of Mexico in Puebla, where she graduated as an international chef. Originally from Toluca, Mexico, she developed her culinary skills by experimenting with new flavors and trends that she discovered while traveling throughout her home country and across Europe. Chef Yanni gained priceless experience while working at the Ritz Carlton in Paris and at the Mayan Palace in both Acapulco and Cancun, in Mexico. She completed her culinary training at Ecole de Paris Patisserie Boulagere in Paris, France.
