This class will introduce you to two delicious cookies. The first is a light coconut cookie prepared from whipped egg whites and coconut. The second is a nutty cookie named after the first Czechoslovakian president, Tomas Garrigue Masaryk (it is said that this was his favorite kind of cookie).
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.
