Born in South Korea, Eunji Lee studied pastry arts at the Institut National de la Boulangerie Patisserie in Rouen, France and Ecole Ferrandi in Paris before working with Chef William Ledeuil at Ze Kitchen Galerie in Paris for three years. She went on to train at three-Michelin-starred Le Meurice under Chef Alain Ducasse and Pastry Chef Cedric Grolet for the following four years. In 2016, Eunji moved to New York to combine her French technique with Korean ingredients at two-Michelin-starred Jungsik, where she offers a five-course dessert tasting menu. Eunji took second place at the 2019 Valrhona C3 North American Final and was a finalist on season 4 of French competition show "Qui sera le prochain grand pâtissier?" (Who will be the next great pastry chef?) in 2017. She’ll share a signature dish with tastings and answer questions about her distinct style and fine dining experience.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

The history, culture and geography of Morocco are all richly evocative. It is easy to imagine yourself sipping mint tea while sitting on a terrace in Casablanca or Marrakech, or hiking the Atlas Mountains. The cuisine of Morocco reflects its Berber, Mediterranean, African and European influences, with a generous use of powerful spices. In this class, you will make some of the most acclaimed dishes of the Moroccan repertoire, including: grilled kefta (lamb) kebabs; chicken tagine with preserved lemons and olives; sweet spiced couscous; carrot salad with lemon-herb dressing and harissa.
Sushi-making doesn't have to be limited to the view from a seat at your local Japanese restaurant. Bring the sushi bar home by practicing your skills at preparing nigiri (sashimi fish on top of thumb-size, compact sushi rice), perfecting the texture of rice, and learning the proper techniques to create a stellar hand roll. Once you've gotten the basics down, you will try your hand at: sushi rice; maki and futomaki rolls (both thin and thick), inside-out rolls; nigiri and temaki (hand roll).. You will soon learn that sushi is something you too can master.
