ABOUT THIS COURSE

Understand the craft.

Understand how flour, fat, sugar, eggs, liquid, temperature, and mixing create structure. Apply that knowledge to tender cakes, biscuits, quick breads, pastry basics, and dependable finishes.

“I want you to recognize what excellent food looks, sounds, feels, and tastes like—so you can adjust with confidence in your own kitchen.”Chef Anna Nichole
