Join Vegan Pastry Master Fran Costigan for an exploration of Holiday Showstopper desserts!
Learn how to make the spectacular holiday log known as Buche de Noel complete with mushrooms and forest ‘dirt’ and how to make Baked Jelly Donut (Sufganiyot) for Chanukah.
The Chef Fran way means making components ahead, a simpler shaped cake and variations for dietary considerations.
