Conquering Custards: The Sweet Secrets of Milk, Eggs and Sugar

Don't be intimidated by the word 'custard', you're more familiar with making them than you know. Have you ever made a cheesecake? Have you ever made a pumpkin pie? Have you ever made a quiche? Then you've made a custard!

Custards can be tricky; one minute you've got a silky smooth liquid base for a creme brulee and the next minute you've got scrambled eggs - just a little too much heat!  Mastering the art of custards will open up a world of culinary possibilities, both sweet and savoury.

How does a chocolate-ginger creme brulee sound?  Or a savoury bluecheese and walnut cheesecake with mixed greens and a simple vinaigrette for an appetizer? You dinner guests will be dazzled by your culinary prowess!

We've got a class coming up at Tria on Monday, February 21 with the awesomely talented Chef Aaron Rail from Avenue Bistro in Comox.  Aaron will demystify the world of milk, eggs and sugar and you'll leave armed with the confidence to go out and conquer custards!
