Baking for Passover with David Wurth

David Wurth is back in our kitchen, this time with a special baking class for Passover. This Jewish holiday, commemorating the exodus from Egypt, is celebrated with special foods at the Seder. Certain ingredients are prohibited at this meal, such as whole grains and leavening agents, so the desserts served at the Seder table need to be carefully considered.

David’s emphasis on flavor and simple technique will be brought to the kitchen for his special demonstration baking class. Even if you have no connection to Passover, these three tasty desserts (two of which are gluten free) may be served for any occasion. Join us in our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen as David Wurth shares his simple approach to delicious baking.

Included in this class:

• Coconut Macaroons (gluten free)
• Flourless Chocolate Spice Cake (gluten free)
• Walnut Orange Cake (not gluten free as it contains Matzo meal)

This demonstration class is limited to ten people.

About David Wurth

Chef David Wurth began cooking long ago as part of the family team that assembled meals for evening dinner. Everybody helped a little. He vividly recalls helping his mother make a salad where he learned that the technique of tearing the lettuce leaves instead of cutting them with a knife made for a better tasting salad. He also recalls learning that after slicing a cucumber for the salad there is left a small nub at the end the salad maker gets to eat as a special only-for-the-cook treat. Secrets and special treats—well that was intriguing enough to open the door to spend more time in the kitchen. Later, there were professional stops in Martha’s Vineyard and Philadelphia and New York City, and then Philmont, NY. Most recently he was the chef/owner of CrossRoads Food Shop in Hillsdale NY, where he famously made egg sandwiches, pancakes, baked goods, pickles and sandwiches for a full decade of Hudson Valley deliciousness while using seasonal ingredients grown by his local farmer friends.
