Montage - Chocolate Without the Fear

Montage Beverly Hills' Executive Pastry Chef, Richard Ruskell, was crowned champion on Food Network's "Last Cake Standing" to be named "Best Cake Artist in America." Chef Ruskell is now looking to share his artistry through a series of introductory pastry classes that he will host personally at Montage Beverly Hills.

Join us for an interactive demonstration class of approximately 15 students. Students will get a copy of Chef's featured recipe in addition to 'seeing' the preparation to better understand what's on the page. And, best of all, the class will get to eat whatever he demonstrates. It's all part of an effort to reintroduce approachability to baking, to take away the fear, and to help make it less of a lost art. Classes are the last Wednesday of every month from 9:30am-10:30am.

August's class is "Chocolate - Without the Fear!" Milk chocolate. Dark chocolate. Bitter and sweet. Cocoa and chips. They're all good to eat. Learn how to work with the various types of chocolate so when the moment strikes, you'll be ready.
