JAKARTA FINDS: French Pastry Cooking Class

October 1, 2013

The actual title of this cooking class was French Choux Cooking Class. This was one of the best cooking classes I attended while I was in Jakarta because, teacher Cindy Sunogo wanted it to be a hands-on experience for all of us. Unlike most cooking classes where chosen volunteers get to try the techniques during different portions of the class, she had each of us assemble one of each of the 3 versions of Choux Pastry we were learning to make. Pantry Magic provided piping bags for each student. This is a great way to learn the tricky technique of piping. Photos after the jump!

Learning from someone who learned how to make French pastry from someone who actually learned it in France is really cool. The instructor for this class, Cindy Jessica Sunogo graduated from Ecole National Superieure de Patisserie France with a Diploma for French Pastry Art, after which she worked as an intern in Arnaud Larher, one of the leading pastry houses in Paris.

Once the pastry was baked, it was time to pipe in the cream filling and the icing.

By the end of the class, each student should have a plate they made of the 3 ways to prepare French Choux Pastry. Isn’t that amazing? Full disclosure, this is not my plate! I think I started eating mine immediately haha. Yes not only do you learn something new, you get to eat it too! (Served with delicious Indonesian coffee or tea)

It was a fun and memorable class. If you get the chance to take a class that Cindy is teaching I say go for it! I love her hands on style and it also made us interact with our fellow students more than if we were all just on the side taking notes.

      Dear Intan, I am sorry but this was quite a while back so I do not remember. The best thing to do is to get in touch with Pantry Magic directly because they have once a month cooking/baking classes which are different each time so the cost is also different. You can ask them to put you on the mailinglist to keep you posted on upcoming classes. Their contact details are above. Thanks for dropping by my blog!
