Join British expat Elyse Chatterton to learn how to make her Mince Pies. A Christmas favourite in the UK, Elyse's festive pies are made with her easy Shortcrust Pastry and filled with store-bought mincemeat, amped up with extra brandy and fruit. You'll learn to top them with pastry stars, or frangipane. Then while they're baking we'll stir up a batch of aromatically spiced Mulled Wine, the perfect tipple to enjoy with your delicious Mince Pies.

Just in time for your holiday parties, the recipes in Kathryn Joel's class on Puff Pastry Basics are designed for easy entertaining. Using store-bought all butter puff, you'll learn to whip up a Caramelized Onion & Goat's Cheese Tart that you can cut up to serve as Canapés, or enjoy in heartier slices for dinner or lunch. Next we'll assemble a tray of Cheese Straws, elevated with a twist of prosciutto and aged cheese. Then you'll learn to make Palmiers, both savoury and sweet. A classic French pastry bite, Palmiers are guaranteed to capture your heart.
