Custards 101: From Pastry Cream to Pot de Creme

← View All Classes

Join us for this class and learn the techniques for creating delicious custards and pastries in your own kitchen. Katherine will explain how to get good results every time. Pastry cream may seem intimidating since it is often used in French Patisserie-style baked goods and classic desserts, but this creamy vanilla-scented custard isn't difficult. You don't need any special equipment or obscure ingredients to make a batch; however, you do need time and patience. We'll have charcuterie for snacking and you'll enjoy tasting all of the desserts.
