Chinese Mid-Autumn FestivalIn anticipation of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival on September 24, 2018, Chef Connie will be offering two different Chinese Moon Cake making classes in Vancouver, BC.
Chef Connie travelled specifically to Hong Kong to search for and to learn the proper techniques and skills needed to make this annual traditional delicacy. While all the Moon Cakes that you see at the Chinese supermarkets (starting in July - Sept) are made by machine, very few people will actually make them at home since it is almost a "lost art". Families celebrate the largest and roundest moon of the year by gazing at the moon while enjoying Moon cakes with tea and making wishes in their heart and blessing their loved ones. Traditional Baked Moon Cakes
Saturday, August 25, 2018. 12 - 4 pm. Location: private home kitchen near Canada Line's King Edward Station. Cost: $120 Includes all ingredients and supplies for the class. You'll take home 10 moon cakes 50 g each, as well as 4 round designs with 1 mold so that you can go home and make them for your friends and family. (The photo shows them un-baked...just un-molded. The filling will be Lotus Paste with Salted Duck Yolk which represents the Moon). I also teach both these Moon Cake Classes throughout the year...let me know if you're interested and your preferred date and I'll post it online to see if there are others who are keen to learn too.
