The Jr. Chef series at The Essex are designed for the enthusiastic middle school baker (ages 11-15).
These young bakers will explore three key ingredients in baking: butter, eggs, and flour. In this three-part mini-series, each class focuses on one essential ingredient, helping students understand how it works in baking, the qualities it brings to finished products, and how to use it successfully in the kitchen. Along the way, students will create pâte sucrée (sweet cookie crust), egg white meringue, and Indian flatbread naan.
Dates: June 16, 23, and 30
Time: 9:00 AM–11:00 AM
$200
Students may also enroll in Baking Fundamentals B, offered on the same Tuesdays from 2:00 PM–4:00 PM, for a broader introduction to foundational baking techniques and ingredients.
For a more complete baking experience, students are welcome to enroll in both Baking Fundamentals A and B. With A offered in the morning and B in the afternoon on the same dates, the two mini-series are designed to complement one another.
