About the class

In this culinary class, you’ll explore an exquisite array of dishes. Begin with the delicate Phyllo Cups filled with Curried Shrimp and Mango Salad, where the flavors of curry, shrimp, and mango dance harmoniously. Next, indulge in the Moroccan Chicken Bestilla, a large round pie brimming with tender chicken, eggs, and almonds—a delightful blend of textures and spices. For a sweet-savory treat, savor the Pear, Gorgonzola, and Toasted Walnut Strudel, a flaky pastry filled with rich ingredients. Then, experience the unique Phyllo Cannoli, filled with Grand Marnier pastry cream and pistachios—a twist on the classic cannoli. Finally, elevate your taste buds with the elegant Venetian Napoleons, featuring layers of mascarpone and berries.
