SATURDAY BAKE
[lessons in pastry and bread]
The smell of something in the oven… is there anything more cozy, more “home”?
Baking is a standard, easy skill that anyone can improve.
From complicated French pastry to a rustic loaf of bread, understanding how to manipulate dough is no magic - it’s a simple set of rules and reflexes that just takes the right guidance and nurturing to grow.
With this class series, you’ll understand baking as a craft, not just a recipe; we’ll work with dozens of classic techniques and styles, but constantly reviewing how our work fits into the greater rules and ideas of baking.
These classes are going to be the antithesis of the 20-minute Food TV show - it’s about real life baking, in real-time, with whatever you’ve got on hand.
No cutting corners here, but also recognizing that most of us bake in our average home-kitchens, and often just for ourselves. Skip the expensive gadgets and fussy sugar-sculpture - we’re doing real-life old-world classic pastry work, and getting confident at it!
There will be lots of time for open-dialogue, and if any alterations to your methods are useful based on the ingredients you happen to have, I’ll be sure to review them! I also welcome requests and recommendations for future class-topics and areas of study, so please feel welcome to reach out!

Book a Private Class!
I love designing private classes for excited clients and business groups looking for something new to do,
especially in the repetitive digital life of the COVID-era.
Purchase a pack of private classes as a gift for an obsessive culinary student,
organize something unique for your office group, or throw a “Zoom party” with your friends and make pastry together!
