About this event
Discover the delicious art and rich traditions of Chinese Mooncakes in this immersive, hands-on cooking class. We'll create dough from scratch for two distinct types: the traditional Cantonese-style wheat dough for baking and the modern, chewy snowskin dough made from glutinous rice flour. You'll also craft two contrasting fillings from scratch: classic traditional sweetened red bean paste and a unique modern fusion filling inspired by Maine's Needham candy (coconut-chocolate). As we mix, shape, and mold our creations using traditional presses, we'll also explore the fascinating history of the Mooncake and share the legendary story of the Moon Goddess, Chang'e. You'll leave with a batch of beautiful traditional baked and delicate snowskin mooncakes you've made, plus the tested recipes, skills, and cultural knowledge to make them at home. Tasting included!
