New England Favorites

Come learn how to make some great treats from our part of the USA, and a bit of local lore with each one. Spiced Hermits, Whoopie Pies, and Nantucket Cranberry Pie (really more cake than pie – but either way it is amazing). All are wonderful with your favorite hot fall beverage
Please contact the Chef if you have any questions or allergy concerns. Please wear low, comfortable shoes, and an apron if you have one.
We will all pitch in to help with a quick clean up to tidy up our spaces.
Material Fee: $5.00 payable to the instructor at the beginning of class.
Feel free to bring lunch or a snack as we will take a short break about noon.

(Cream) Puffs ‘n Stuff

There’s nothing like a fresh cream puff or éclair – and even better if you made them yourself.
Simple, yet elegant – they are sure to impress family and friends. Pate a choux, pastry cream, ganache glaze, and whipped cream are all a part of the baking process to make these favorites.
