Adult Enrichment Fall 2024

Mooncake is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival is primarily about the harvest while a legend connects it to moon-watching, and mooncakes are regarded as a delicacy.

The festival falls on September 17 this year. There is a variety of mooncakes. Suchou-style pork mooncakes are unique and delicious.

At this workshop, you are going to learn how to use the store-bought crusts to make both pork and sweet mooncakes and bake them. You will be able to taste your own homemade mooncakes. Price includes a supply kit of ingredients purchased and provided by the instructor. 

Sign up by yourself or as a group! Price is per person.

Ada was born in Wuhan, Southern China. Her mom was an excellent cook and Ada spent a lot of time helping her in the kitchen. She left Wuhan for Beijing, where she would spend a decade. In Beijing she started cooking for herself. Cooking became a passion for her and she also found it was a great stress reliever. On the weekends you could often find Ada’s friends at her home, talking, drinking, laughing, eating at the dinner table. In 2009 she started a box lunch service called “Ada’s Home Cooking” - she would prepare 30-40 lunches a day by herself! Today as a housewife with 2 children she enjoys cooking for her family and dreams of having a stand at a local farmer’s market.
