Hello! and a BIG thank you for signing up to cook with me! In this month’s virtual class I’m going to show you how to make a delicious and easy Flourless Chocolate Cake! It’s a recipe that doesn’t take much effort but can be made to look like an expensive dessert from a fancy restaurant. I will show you how to plate and decorate your cake to impress your loved one for the upcoming Valentine’s Day!
In this class we will be learning how to use a double boiler, make and bake a cake, make a chocolate glaze and chantilly cream (fancy whipped cream!). We’ll talk about plating and I will demonstrate how to decorate the cakes as well as how to compose a plated dessert using the cake and other simple ingredients (such as fruits and nuts).
DATE: Friday, January 22
TIME: 6:30 pm: The class will last approximately 1.5 hours with ample time for questions. Because everyone will be at different stages in their culinary adventure, I will treat this class as a beginner level and basics will be discussed and explained.
The recipe we are making in this class is gluten-free. It is nut-free and can also be made dairy-free with some substitutions. This recipe CONTAINS EGGS.
COST: $20

About Shari Mukherjee:
Shari Mukherjee currently lives in Rochester, Minnesota with her husband of over 11 years and two sons. She is a self-taught home-chef, baker and food blogger with a passion for both savory and sweet recipe development. She also enjoys tinkering with her camera and learning to photograph the food she creates.
Although she loves to be in the kitchen now, it wasn’t always that way. It wasn’t until Shari met her husband, Piyush, that she discovered her interest and talent for cooking. She quickly realized that learning to make Indian food, the food Piyush grew up eating, was a great way to bond with her new in-laws and show them that she cared about their son and their culture.
Shari went from “kitchen zero” and not knowing anything about cooking to competing on FOX’s hit show: MasterChef. She has had the privilege of cooking for and learning from some incredible, world renowned chefs including Gordon Ramsay, Grant Achatz, Iron Chef Morimoto and others–even earning a trip to London to cook in Chef Ramsay’s 3 Michelin Star restaurant: Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. She hopes her story can inspire others–no matter where they’re starting–to get into the kitchen and start learning.
Shari has spoken at public events, led cooking demonstrations, judged cooking contests and loves teaching cookery classes. She has worked with local charities and has a soft spot for teaching kids (and their parents) the benefits of learning to cook–all while having fun doing it!
