March 2022
I’m happily starting back to in-person classes. My intent is to continue teaching one or two classes a month virtually through zoom. If you have a request for a virtual or in-person class, please reach out to me.
If you haven’t tried taking a zoom baking class, I recommend giving it a try. I’ve found that I really like this format, since it gives my students a chance to practice the lessons as I teach and ask questions as we go. Additionally I’m able to keep the cost reasonable. Most of my zoom classes are $25 per household. Follow the links to Eventbright for class descriptions, registration and costs.
I am also scheduling private classes in my home or yours. Contact me directly for more information.

Honey Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread
Saturday, March 12, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (with scheduled breaks)
This is my family’s favorite sandwich bread – it is the one I send in school lunches every day. It is a nice soft bread, but it still holds up well to peanut butter and jelly. It is 100% whole wheat, but my kids wouldn’t know it was healthy for them. This bread challenges much of what we think of as whole wheat bread. For this class, you will want to use a machine to mix the dough. A stand mixer, food processor, or electric bread machine will suffice.

Hot Cross Buns & Orange Marmalade
Friday, March 25, 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM (with scheduled breaks)
Join me for this Easter themed bake along bread and preserves class. We will be making a traditional Hot Cross Buns, which will be a slightly sweet, spicy addition to your Easter table. While the dough rises, I will demonstrate making orange marmalade. You can join along and make your own batch of marmalade or just watch and learn – your choice!

- Other than a good kitchen knife, I try not to use require speciality equipment or ingredients in my classes. While they are nice and useful, I believe most speciality tools in our kitchen can be replicated with basic equipment. I don’t want you to feel the need to buy anything special to get through a class. On the occasion that there is something I don’t think every kitchen has, I will note it in the class description.
- All published classes are held from my home in Crystal Lake. If you’d like a private class with your own group of friends, please contact me for more information.
