Hands-on Lifestyle Classes
During the sneak preview on the workshops at Gourdo’s, almost everyone got their hands-on making Sweet Crepe, Crepe Samurai, and Ham and Cheese with Basic Buckwheat Crepe with Chef Jackie Ang-Po. What makes Workshops at Gourdo’s different is the number of participants they allow for each class – a minimum of 5 and max of 10. An ideal, if we come to think of it because every student to actively participate and take part on the workshops. As with the general concept of learning: the more senses are involved, the better the learning.
During Chef Jackie’s Sweet & Savory Crepe workshop demo, the Ballarini Crêpe Pan stood out. This wonder kitchen tool is made of aluminum, inside-coated with triple-layered quartz plus non-stick coating – perfect for crepe making. 🙂

Would be interested to find out your schedule for basic cake decorating for June 2017 ? I live in Malaysia and would be going back next year. Hopefully I can attend one of your classes whilst I am there. Thank you and regards. (Mary Ann Hee – maan255@hotmail.com
