Baking is a science---except when we don't play by the rules. Chef Melanie Underwood's mouthwatering class proves that the old-fashioned baking methods of baking can still work, and they don't require measuring much. You'll prove that as you make: Rhubarb Fruit Crisp with Sorbet; Cherry Fool; Plum Galette with Maple Crème Fraiche; Cinnamon Bread Pudding with a Warm Butter Sauce; Espresso Crème Brulee; Yogurt Passion Fruit Parfait; and No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake.

Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
