Christmas Cookies II – Mini Walnut Rolls & Mini Nests with Almonds

This class will introduce you to two other kinds of traditional Czech Christmas Cookies. You will learn to prepare mini walnut rolls coated in sugar and chocolate mini nests with almonds. You can attend this course without having attended its’ predecessor.

Note: Suitable for vegetarians.

Join us from the comfort of  your home on Zoom and learn from Czech-born Chef Tom Slepicka in these hands-on interactive classes.

Slepicka graduated from culinary school in his hometown, Brno, located in the Czech Republic. While still in school, he established a successful full-service catering company which operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Austria. Slepicka moved to the U.S. with his wife in 2014. From 2015-16, he operated the Czech Deli at the NewBo City Market. The goal of his courses is to make tasty and high-quality meals accessible to everyone.

Series VIII is a combination of new classes as well as a repeat of successful Christmas classes from last year. If you missed last years classes or would like a refresher on technically demanding classes such as Vánočka or the May-beetle cookie, this is an excellent opportunity.
