What You’ll Do

Put on your pastry chef hat and get ready to recreate iconic French delicacies with master Chef Agnes. The session begins with a buttery pâte choux, a classic French pastry dough that serves as the base for delicious treats like éclairs and cream puffs. Once you've perfected the dough's consistency, you'll pipe it into elegant shapes to create three iconic French desserts. First up is the Paris-Brest, a ring-shaped pastry filled with tasty praline crème mousseline, followed by éclairs filled with silky pastry cream and finally, a show-stopping French pastry tower (croquembouche) stacked and bound together with caramel.

Choux Pastries for Beginners Review Photo from Cooking Class in Boston 2

Chef Agnes brought all of the ingredients we needed, and she was willing to make it work even if we didn’t have all of the ideal equipment (she mentioned that a hand mixer could be used if we didn’t have a stand mixer). She was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and gave helpful feedback. She paced the class really well to make eclairs and cream puffs in two hours, including making the craquelin, choux pastry, pastry cream, and chocolate ganache. We had a blast! You should budget time after the class to finish filling/dipping the remaining pastries and to clean up.
