POT-LUCK FOR LESS: SWEET

Christmas gatherings, summer picnics and potluck meals often call for something sweet to share — but creating a crowd-pleasing dessert doesn’t need to be difficult or expensive. In this part demonstration, part hands-on workshop, Toyomi will show you how to transform affordable ingredients into delicious, sweet treats with plenty of visual impact. Learn simple techniques for preparing, decorating and presenting desserts that look special, taste wonderful and are easy to transport. The menu will include trifle with WOW, mini-tartes and a Basque cheesecake.

You’ll also discover useful ideas for making desserts ahead of time, adjusting quantities, using seasonal ingredients and creating an impressive, shared dish without stretching your budget. The course fee includes all ingredients, and you’ll enjoy tasting the finished treats together. Please bring an apron and containers in case there are leftovers to take food home. Toyomi will present the workshop with assistance from Kazuko Iwai. Book this workshop on its own or come to both Pot-Luck for Less sessions.
