Traditional Walnut Baklava

Saturday, June 22, 2024 | 10:00AM - 1:00PM

$169.00

Come join local Grecophile Marianna Faure as she shares her family’s Traditional Walnut Baklava with Honey Syrup recipe. You’ll have a diaskédasi (fun) time making your own pan* to take home and share with your loved ones - or not - we won’t judge!

Baklava is a much loved treat made of flaky, thin phyllo pastry dough and a delicious crushed nut filling and sweetened with a simple honey syrup. If you want that fresh out of the oven, homemade taste, then look no further. We have you covered! Although Marianna’s lightly spiced version uses walnuts, you can always vary the nut mixture with other favorites like pecans or pistachios or go a little rouge and do hazelnuts and chocolate as well.

*Everyone will go home with one large pan of Baklava (Duos can make two smaller pans so you don’t have the mess of dividing!)

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child

YES: Couples (live in the same household)

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.

Join Mary Storey for a wonderful evening making Traditional* Panettone! During the class you will learn to fill, shape and bake a batch of pre-risen dough (so you’re not waiting around for hours.) While your panettone is baking you’ll learn to make a batch of dough to bring home so you can make more delicious Panettone to share with your friends and family! Plus, Mary will have a surprise Panettone dessert made for you to sample (don’t worry, she’ll share the recipe too) in addition to serving her freshly baked loaf.

Panettone is probably the most iconic Italian Christmas cake. It is instantly recognizable for its beautifully tall dome shape. Panettone is a sweet, soft, and buttery bread similar to brioche. The dough is traditionally loaded with lemon and/or orange zest, and a mix of dried and candied fruit and baked in a paper mold to give it the characteristic shape.

*If dried fruit isn’t your thing, we’ll also have chocolate chips and a variety of nuts including pistachios and hazelnuts to choose from.

Legend has it that Panettone’s origin goes back to the late 1400s… during a luxurious Christmas banquet given by the Duke of Milan, the desert they were meant to server was burnt. A kitchen apprentice called Toni, came up with a rich brioche bread filled with raisins and candied fruit. The Duke loved it, and so the tradition of 'Pane di Toni' was born and later changed to "panettone" and become a bread of luxury.

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
