What you will learn
Cooking Class Description: Explore the science and craft behind the desserts that rely on one perfect ingredient: the egg. In this technique-driven class, you’ll whip meringue to glossy peaks, fold delicately for maximum lift, and bake mini pavlovas with a crisp exterior and cloudlike center. You’ll cook velvety curd without scrambling, coax a raspberry soufflé to rise tall and proud and blind-bake tart shells for a bright, citrusy finish.
