Participants will be invited to cook-along and create a classic pierogi dough along with the instructor’s next-level potato and cheese filling, and her wonderful festive reuben filling as well! In addition to the cook-along, our instructor will demonstrate how she creates festive green dough and will describe how to create a bright pink one with pure natural ingredients. She will also demonstrate how she creates additional festive fillings including her mushroom filling with mouthwatering umami flavor, and her fun pizza filling as well!
