Executive Pastry Chef Maura Kilpatrick is joined by honey enthusiast Nikki Menounos Daigel of Portoula for a class about one of Greece’s specialty products – forest honey. Distinct from the more common blossom honey, forest honey is produced when bees collect secretions from the bark of certain tree species.  Combined with the country’s long, dry summers, mild winters, and rich biodiversity, the resulting honey is unmatched in flavor, texture, and nutritional benefits. Portoula honey pairs perfectly with Chef Maura’s desserts, including Melomakarona (Greek Christmas cookies), Sesame Tahini Baklava rolls, and Melopita (traditional honey pie/cheesecake).

A note about our dessert classes: In addition to the recipes above, you’ll also enjoy a light savory meal. And don’t worry when your sweet tooth gets satisfied – we will send you home with leftovers to enjoy later!
