In this class designed for high-school aged learners, we will learn the basics of soufflé making. This will include separating and whipping eggs, working with chocolate, and folding. We will also make a delicious berry coulis (your choice of berry!) to serve with our soufflés. We will also discuss some of the "cheats" used by commercial food service establishments to ensure that the rise lasts a bit longer and gets higher. Because this class is only 55 minutes, it is imperative that all students have the ingredients measured out in advance and their equipment ready to go so that they do not fall behind in instruction.

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate
My name is Rochelle Van Der Merwe, but most people call me Chef Ro (it's just easier!). I graduated from The Art Institute with my culinary degree, and I have been in the food industry as a professional for nearly 15 years. I have been teaching for almost 10 years now, both to home cooks and to future professionals. I have taught at recreational schools, Culinary Schools, and most recently at a high school.
I have cooked in both restaurants and catering companies. I have also been the Executive Chef of a hospital, run recreational cooking programs all over the country, and even done some private chef work. I have worked professionally on both the culinary side and the pastry side, and have taught both for many years. I simply love showing people that cooking is not difficult, and can also be quite fun!
I do have two four-legged colleagues of the kitty variety that will sometimes cry because they want to be on camera. But I assure you - I don't let the cat hair get in the food!Reviews
