Like the people who perform it, the craft of baking is so much more than what meets the eye. The owner of Carina’s Bakery, Carina, graduated from a top-notch pastry program at Johnson & Wales. Carina fought against a tide of peers whose careers were defined by precision and artistry, while she was continuously aerated to the science of pastry and flavor. She often thought about how she could make a path for herself as a blind baker in such a physical world.
Now, Carina wants to share her experience in hands on classes to teach cooks on how vegan and gluten free baking works. She thrives to explain how to explore new combinations and tweak recipes through taste and knowledge of what chemically works, and most importantly; how to taste and feel your way to recipe success, rather than relying on looks. Prepare to get your palms dirty in hands on classes which make you one with food and the stories behind it.
A special class designated to something more advanced is offered at Carina’s Bakery once a quarter – who knows what Carina will come up with next! Culinary fanatics and advanced cooks, stay tuned!
If you have a specific topic in mind or want to host a private party, get a group of 4-10 people together and Carina would be happy to talk about a custom cooking class for you!
Class Schedule:
Cooking classes will be held at Carina’s Bakery twice a month, with special classes once a quarter for more advanced bakers or those who want to be a little more adventurous and international. We will try to vary class days every once-in-a-while to accommodate different schedules, so check back often! Please come with basic cooking knowledge (knife handling & food safety) and wear a mask when possible.
