Item Description

Dominique Geulin, owner of St. Honoré Boulangerie (four locations) and master baker, will lead a private baking class for your 8 people at St. Honoré’s Division Street bakery. Feel like learning about a particular style of tarte, cake or bread? You can help choose the focus or topic of the class, along with Dominique.  

The 3-hour class will cover the basics and each student will take home their personal created sample. For example, if you choose a Fruit Tart theme, each student will take home their own creation with them. You will also be able to watch a demonstration on how to make a baked fruit and almond tart and a fresh fruit clafouti.  

The private class will be taught by Dominique Geulin, MOF, and Production Manager Emma Nowell, a seasoned Le Cordon Bleu instructor. A welcome drink, snacks, and tasting samples will be served during the class, and each student will take home a fruit tart. Please bring your own aprons. Students will be standing, cooking and working for most of the class. Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and have long hair tied back.

Dominique Geulin is a second-generation baker, growing up over his father's bakery in Normandy. After years of training, he participated in France's most prestigious competition, Meilleur Ouvrier de France,  that honors the country's best artisan craftspeople and promotes France's tradition of knowledge and artistry. In April 2016, the French National Minister of Agriculture awarded him the status of Chevalier (Knight) in the Order of  Mérite Agricole .

The class will be held from 5pm to 8pm on a mutually agreeable date prior to April 1, 2020. Location: St. Honore Boulangerie, 3333 SE Division St. Portland, OR 97202.
