I love teaching baking at Della Fattoria in Petaluma because the fruit is straight from the farmer's market-- fresh, seasonal, and best of all-- it's ripe! The Webers, who own the bakery/cafe, sell their amazing bread at two farmer's markets a week, and return to the kitchen with a van full of beautiful produce.
Shortcakes! Who can resist luscious berries, whipped cream and a sweet, flaky biscuit? The class also made hand-pies, one of the "new" pastries showing up on menus (everything old is new again!)
Everyone wants to learn to bake pies right now--and I have such a easy technique for flaky crust that never fails!
Nectarine Cobbler... Apricot Upside-Down Cake.... it's hard to stop baking when the fruit is so beautiful!
