Public Class: A World of Dumplings with Chef Nicolas Abrams

Who can resist a delicious dumpling? Found in kitchens across the globe, these little parcels are made from dough, grains, or even potatoes, and wrapped around sweet or savory fillings. They can be boiled, steamed, baked, or fried. Most disappear in just a couple of bites, yet each one packs a pocketful of flavor. Pair them with the right condiment or sauce, and you get a delicious global balance of contrast and harmony. Join us to explore recipes and techniques for dumplings from around the world.

What You'll Learn and Taste: 

• Learn skills for filling, folding, and pleating dumplings.
• Taste savory Polish pierogi, Chinese bao, South Asian samosas and more
• Close with a classic American apple dumpling.
