Olive Tree in Overland Park, Kansas, will welcome Jewish baker Michael Crane for a Passover dessert class.
Participants will learn how to make flourless desserts that are kosher-for-Passover and bring more flavors to the holiday table.
The event will be held on Saturday, April 5, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Olive Tree (7044 W. 105th St, Overland Park, KS 66212). Attendees must sign up; more details and reservations are available at tinyurl.com/34x2j6hc.
In this two-hour class, attendees will create and eat a variety of Passover-friendly treats, including flourless chocolate cake with ganache frosting, orange coconut macaroons, pavlova with fresh whipped cream and berries, blondies and lemon curd jelly rolls.
“Passover desserts don’t have to be dry or boring,” Crane said. “This class will show how to make indulgent, flavorful treats that everyone at your Seder will love.”
Since retiring from Crane Brewing, Crane has been working in the field of traditional Jewish foods and often works with Olive Tree. Last July, Crane and Olive Tree worked together on a pastrami-and-rye pop-up event, and they collaborated on a Rosh Hashanah menu last September.
Olive Tree is owned by community member Mindy Riley and specializes in olive oils, balsamic vinegars and gourmet gifts. Riley hosts cooking classes regularly.
