Let's be up-front about this: we've decided this summer is going to be A Summer of Pancakes, so we're hosting a ton of classes about pancakes to celebrate!

You could spend ages making pancakes and never make the same kind twice: they're sweet, they're savory, and they've made it to every corner of the globe. The International House of Pancakes is going to seem like a provincial backwater after we get done with this.

We're kicking things off with Flying Flapjacks: The History (and Science!) of the Humble Pancake, a lecture on June 6th spanning all things pancakes. You'll learn the secrets to perfecting your silver dollar pancake game while being introduced to what the world holds in store, from the savory Ethoipian injera to Japan's red-bean-filled dorayaki.

Once we've whet your appetite (pun intended) we're spending the rest of the summer with hands-on pancake-making classes, covering new creations and old favorites. All classes are vegetarian friendly with the exception of okonomiyaki.
