Christmas Cookies of the World Baking Class
Around the world in eighty days? Amateur hour. We're going around the world in thirteen cookies, and we're doing it in just a few hours!
Join us at the Pickwick & Cherry Teaching Kitchen for a gloriously ambitious international Christmas baking adventure as we explore the traditions, techniques, and irresistible treats of holiday kitchens around the globe.
From familiar favorites to wonderfully obscure regional specialties, we're making a baker's dozen of different cookies and confections representing all seven continents!
We'll travel to Germany for fragrant, spiced Lebkuchen, Serbia for delicate, jam-filled Vanilice, and the Middle East for beautifully decorated Ma'amoul. We'll discover Portugal's unusual sweet-potato-and-almond Broas Castelares and Austria's charming Eisenbahner, with their piped marzipan and jewel-bright jam.
We'll fry up South African Koeksisters and Danish Klejner, explore New Zealand's chocolatey Afghans and Colombia's dulce-de-leche-filled Alfajores, and make a few more stops along the way.
We'll even venture all the way to Antarctica. Because apparently six continents just aren't enough.
Along the way, we'll roll, shape, pipe, fill, fry, bake, decorate, and, of course, taste our way through an extraordinary assortment of holiday treats. With much of the advance preparation already done, we'll concentrate on the fascinating techniques, distinctive flavors, and culinary traditions that make each one special.
You'll leave with a magnificent international assortment of thirteen different holiday cookies, plenty of new baking skills, and enough inspiration to make your Christmas cookie plate the most interesting one in the neighborhood.
