Description
Ages 12 to 16. Send your baker-in-training on a French baking vacation without leaving Seattle. Zola will guide teens through advanced techniques like croissant lamination, making custards, and crafting pate a choux dough for eclairs. Teens will learn to make some of Europe’s beloved pastries during this camp. They’ll leave class a better baker — and eat the results too!
With dairy and eggs.
About the instructor: Zola was born and raised in Seattle by a family that loves to cook. She spent her early years cooking alongside her great-grandmother whom she credits as her greatest inspiration both in the kitchen and out. In 2016 she was offered a job as a pastry chef after making a wedding cake for her Aunt and Uncle and went on to gain experience in all manner of pastries and desserts from Italian gelatos to Parisian croissants. Though Zola has worked professionally as a pastry chef and baker, she maintains that her true passion is her role as a home cook and finds real reward in helping others find success in their own kitchens. When she's not teaching she spends her time writing, listening to history podcasts, and cooking extravagant meals for her family.
