Chef Jennifer and her troupe have prepared an insightful lesson into the making of a classic European treat. You'll assemble an authentic choux pastry dough, baked to flaky perfection, before preparing silky vanilla pastry cream to fill your finished puffs. A swath of decadent ganache tops each puff with a blissful chocolate finish and makes your bake patisserie-ready.

I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to learn proper technique using knives and the many different types and ways of cutting vegetables. Chef Jennifer was knowledgeable and answered any and all our questions. I learned a lot more than I thought I would from one lesson. Everyone enjoyed the soup I made! Looking forward to taking many more classes!!
