If you've ever dreamed of spending an entire day baking bread, this class was made for you.

Our A Day in The Kitchen: Bread Basket class offered an in-depth exploration of yeast breads and baking techniques in one of our most immersive participation classes.

Guests spent the day learning how to create:
• Baguettes
• Rolls
• Pizza dough
• Rye breads
• Whole-grain breads
• Sandwich breads
• Cinnamon rolls

The class also explored natural starters, sponges, crusty artisan loaves, enriched doughs, and no-knead slow-rise bread methods.

With only eight participants, this hands-on experience provided plenty of opportunities to learn techniques, ask questions, and build confidence in bread baking.

Each participant left with sourdough starter and a variety of breads to enjoy at home.

This class is offered again on August 22. https://kitchenconservatory.com/Cooking-Classes.aspx?title=A%20Day%20in%20The%20Kitchen:%20Bread%20Ba

If you've ever wondered what makes great gnocchi so light and tender, this class had the answers.

Our Yes, Maybe, Gnocchi class welcomed guests into the kitchen for a hands-on exploration of these beloved Italian dumplings, from traditional potato gnocchi to delicate ricotta gnudi.

The menu featured:
• Potato gnocchi with roasted oyster mushrooms, browned butter, and currants
• Basil Parisienne choux gnocchi with French tomato cream and roasted tomatoes
• Ricotta gnudi with orange, sage, and sweet potatoes

Throughout the evening, guests learned techniques for creating tender textures, shaping gnocchi, and pairing them with flavorful sauces and seasonal ingredients.

Keep an eye out for additional gnocchi classes when our new schedule is released on June 1.
