Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 09-Jan-2004
Limited to 15 participants.
Single session event
Fee: 8.00 for cost of materials
REGISTRATION CLOSED DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND
This singular event is a combination cooking class and informal food science lab. We'll have more chocolate and cream than you know what to do with, and a wide selection of flavorings to try out. We'll cover making truffles with extracts, infusions, and liqueurs, along with molding and dipping techniques. And best of all, you get to take them home afterwards.
This is a two-part, one-day event running from 12-2 and 6-8 pm, to allow for the chocolate ganache to chill before we practice rolling and dipping the truffles. If there is overwhelming demand, we may add another 2-4/8-10pm session on the same day.
