MousseChocolate Mousse . . .

Since mousse is French for foam . . .

Chocolate Foam

Light and airy, wilst simultaneously rich and decadent. . .

Bubbles made of chocolate and cream . . .

Breathe   Calm yourself.

Amazingly, these super bubbles were figured out over a century ago.  In this class you will learn how to make chocolate mousse and hollandaise using techniques that don’t require space-age polymers or hydrogenated grease.  We will use wholesome, natural, and mostly local ingredients to produce both the mousse and the hollandaise (a rich lemon butter sauce – need I say more?)

The class size is limited to 10 students so that all will get hands-on experience, ask and get answers to any question.  Each student will take home the written recipes as well as a pint of the chocolate mousse and a cup of the hollandaise for dinner that evening.

Chef John and his Chocolate MousseAbout the Chef
John Wasson started cooking when he was nine years old. He was pestering his mom to make some chocolate chip cookies and she pointed out that he could read, and that the recipe was on the back of the bag of chocolate chips.

John has since held sous chef and executive chef positions in Cary, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Statesville, North Carolina.

He currently makes nutritional supplements and various medicinal cremes, most of which go to California in bulk before you see them locally in little bottles.
