Chinese Pastry Workshop with Samantha Tam
Slow Food Hong Kong and Heimao Foods proudly present a special workshop to learn to make modern Chinese pastries! We will be baking under the direction of Chef Samantha Tam, a founding member of Slow Food Cooks’ Alliance Hong Kong.
Before becoming the founder and chief tutor of Heimao Foods, Samantha studied pâtisserie at Le Cordon Bleu and had travelled extensively around the world to learn the food cultures and authentic ways to prepare different cuisines. She has been giving cooking lessons around Hong Kong since 2010, has appeared on TV for cooking demonstrations and has hosted cooking events.
In this workshop, Samantha will share with us the differences between Chinese and western pastries. We will be making salted egg yolk and red bean puff pastry (豆沙蛋黃酥) and pecan cookie (碧根果酥) (the latter a variation of the Chinese walnut cookie (核桃酥)).
Don’t miss the chance to learn to bake something special for yourself and your loved ones! Very limited seats – register now to avoid disappointment.
Samantha is currently producing made-to-order mooncakes – see here for more details. Interested parties may place orders with her on whatsapp at 5286 8508 by 20 August 2022.
