Join alumna Jennifer MacKenzie '93 as she teaches you the art of Choux Pastry with her recipe for Blueberry Mint Profiteroles
Choux pastry, or pâte à choux, is an important and versatile building block in the
world of baking and pastry, puffing up when cooked to make everything from cream puffs,
profiteroles, and éclairs to Parisian gnocchi, churros, beignets and more.
Jennifer MacKenzie is a Professional Home Economist who wears many aprons as a freelance
food writer, recipe developer and media spokesperson with a little event planning
added to the mix. She has taught cooking classes across Canada, writes and develops
recipes for print and online publications and has tested and recipe-edited over two
hundred cookbooks.
She is the author/co-author of eight cookbooks, including the bestselling, The Complete Book of Pickling, The Complete Book of Pickling Second Edition, and The Dehydrator Bible. Jennifer is the Chair of Awards Committees for the Taste Canada Awards, project coordinator for Farm & Food Care Ontario and Festival Director for the SPARK Photo Festival.
With Easter just around the corner, take this opportunity to learn a new skill in
the kitchen while creating a fun dessert for your upcoming family celebration.
