No tart pan? No problem! In this chef-led, hands-on baking class, you’ll learn how to mix, roll, and bake flaky pastry dough before transforming it into stunning rustic tarts using both sweet and savory seasonal ingredients. Guests will create a wild mushroom herb tart, a savory zucchini galette with chorizo, and a fresh berry cream tart—each highlighting the beauty of free-form baking.
Along the way, you’ll gain confidence working with pastry dough, balancing flavors, and building visually impressive dishes that are as delicious as they are approachable. Enjoy a tasting together and head home with your handmade creations ready to share—and show off.
