Classic German Holiday Baking with Luisa Weiss
Six Dutchess in the Kitchen | Live, hands-on virtual class
Taught by Luisa Weiss and hosted by Six Dutchess Farm.
Nothing says German Christmas more than cellophane-wrapped gift bags of homemade treats! Luisa will share some of her favorite German holiday traditions and Christmas treats with you.
The aim of this 2-hour interactive class is to teach you several beloved regional Christmas classics from Luisa's cookbook, Classic German Baking, while also helping you assemble your own holiday cookie platters and gift bags for colleagues, friends and family. She'll teach you how to make you own Lebkuchengewürz (Lebkuchen Spice Mix) and explain why so many German Christmas doughs are honey-based.
Our Menu for the Class:
Pfeffernüsse (Iced Spice Cookies)
Früchtebrot (Austrian Fruit Bread)
Bonus Recipe: Basler Leckerli (Swiss Spice Squares)
