Welcome To The Kitchen!

Welcome to the Paula’s Parisian Pastries Cooking School. The school was created in 2002 and teaches classes in all areas of cooking and baking, with an emphasis on French pastry and Jewish cooking. The school is unique in that in addition to scheduled classes throughout the year, I teach CUSTOM CLASSES to students OF ALL AGES where YOU DESIGN THE MENU.

My philosophy of baking is that it does not have to be difficult. I am a living testament to the French approach to desserts that you can eat anything in moderation and not be overweight (as long you exercise regularly!!). The goal is to create desserts that are so delicious that you are satisfied by one piece. Home baked desserts are so much healthier than packaged desserts and EASIER TO BAKE THAN YOU THINK.

Baking Tip Of The Month (April 2008)

When whipping cream or mixer batter in a stand mixer, wrap plastic wrap all around the top of the mixer and mixing bowl so all of the contents stay inside. Your mixer "raincoat" will keep your counter, cabinets and hair cream and batter-free.

ATTENTION FANS OF PAULA’S PARISIAN PASTRIES:

I was on TV!!!!

The show is called Forward Motion, a talk-show hosted by Karen Allyn.  It was on Comcast Channel 21, Access Montgomery,  Thursday, February  7th at 9:30 pm and again, Sunday February 10th at 5:30 pm.  I discussed French and Kosher baking and demonstrate how to roll a chocolate babka.  It was great fun to tape and I hope you enjoy the show.  I am also currently filming a cooking show which I hope will air this April -- details to follow.
