The Pantry at the Delancey.

Tonight, I took a fantastic cooking class at The Pantry at the Delancey. The theme was holiday gifts, where we learned how to make some amazing, decadent treats. This class was such a dream-- the kitchen was gorgeous and the instructors were a delight! They were big advocates of buying local, which was great. We made Chocolate Fruit Bark (70% dark chocolate, dried apricots, pistachios, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, cocoa nibs, grey salt), Peanut Butter Clouds (meringues with Adam's peanut butter and topped with black sesame seeds), Black Pepper and Cheddar Cheese Straws, and Bourbon Butterscotch Sauce. A night spent drinking wine, making and talking about food, and trying out new baking techniques-- I loved it! I can't wait to take another class at the Pantry!
