This class will guide you through the step-by-step process of making choux pastry from scratch, and you'll get to try your hand at preparing and baking it yourself.

- Understanding Choux Pastry: We’ll start by exploring the basic ingredients—water, butter, flour, and eggs—and the science behind this unique dough.
- Making the Dough: You’ll learn how to cook the choux dough on the stovetop, achieving the right consistency for piping and shaping.
- Piping Techniques: Learn how to pipe the dough into beautiful rounds, éclairs, or other shapes, and achieve the perfect texture after baking.

Andrei Godoroja was first asked to teach a pastry course a few years ago, which puzzled Andrei, as he has a degree in Engineering Physics and no training in pastry. However, he went on to be in Season 2 of The Great Canadian Baking Show and, in fact, won.
Andrei believes a background in Physics was good preparation for pastry, but not necessary, and is enthusiastic about showing people how to master something that many people actually fear.
