Taught by j soma

Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He cooks for fun, codes for hire, and has more hobbies than can dance on the head of a pin. His work has been featured everywhere from Gawker to The New York Times.

This class meets at our Court Street location

Whether it's leavening bread or making crisp cookies, baking is a part of cooking that requires scientific precision.

We'll look at the differences between types of flours, the various means and methods for making things rise, the what's the scoop on kneading, and what a piece of bread can do to keep your cookies nice and fresh. I'll teach you how taking a shower can speed up making pizza dough, and how to impress your roommates by coaxing pancakes out of an understocked pantry.

And more!
