Pastry Craft

I received an in-​home cooking class for 8 as a gift from my daughter. Pastry Chef Laurie Pfalzer came to our home and prepared a Savory and Sweet lunch, which included olive cookies, gougeres (cheese puffs), Alsatian Onion Tart, and Pastry Cream. Laurie arrived on time, was organized and presented an over 3-​hour class to my group, and cleaned up my kitchen after she was finished. I don’t know what I expected when she came, but she far exceed anything I could have hoped for. Laurie was personable, knowledgeable, easy to be around, anxious to share any cooking information we were interested in, and just generally entertained all of us, all the while providing us with very useful tips. I would definitely ask Laurie into my home again, and I am going to attend some of her upcoming classes in the Seattle area. She made cooking so much fun. Every single person, without exception, who attended my party, asked me to express their appreciation of Laurie and her style and knowledge in this review. Laurie, you are a true gem in the cooking field!

Chef Laurie is one of the best Pastry Chef’s I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her classes are informative, well organized, (and fun!) and when you leave you feel as if you can bake like a pro! After attending Pastry Craft’s scone class, my scones now look and taste like they came from a gourmet bakery. I learned so much in the scones class I’m taking the Pastry Craft pie class. I highly recommend Pastry Craft!

I’ve always loved baking bread, but it was never consistent from loaf to loaf until I took a break baking class with Laurie. The hands on instructions and tips she gave me were priceless… and I get more compliments on my homemade bread now than ever before. I highly recommend taking a class with Laurie. She is a patient teacher and gives you the confidence to feel like a pro in the kitchen!
