Puff Pastry Part Deux

Ready to take your pastry prowess to the next level? Welcome to part ‘Deux’ of our Puff Pastry cooking class, where we’ll tackle more sophisticated recipes that will wow your guests and satisfy your culinary curiosity!

In this more advanced class, you’ll learn how to create a show-stopping Beef Wellington, wrapped in a golden puff pastry crust that’s as delicious as it is impressive. Next, we’ll move on to Vol Au Vents, delicate puff pastry cases that can be filled with sweet or savory delights.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! You’ll also master the art of making Palmiers, those irresistible, heart-shaped pastries that are crisp, sweet, and absolutely perfect with a cup of coffee.

And of course, we couldn’t forget about dessert pastries. We’ll guide you through creating some mouthwatering sweet treats that will make your taste buds dance with delight.

Guided by Chef Kevin, you’ll dive deeper into the world of puff pastry, learning advanced techniques and tricks to create these exquisite dishes. By the end of the class, you’ll be able to whip up a puff pastry feast that looks as though it came straight from a professional bakery.
