Chinese Mooncakes with Maine Ingredients

Let’s make mooncakes! Mooncakes are traditionally made to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, a harvest festival celebrated in Chinese culture that typically falls between mid-September and early October. Join instructor Jeff Mao to learn about – and make – Chinese Mooncakes using Maine ingredients from local farms and producers. Learn how to make the dough, mix up a variety of traditional and non-traditional fillings and, most importantly, learn how to use special molds to create these beautifully intricate pastries. We'll provide all the ingredients, materials and equipment, plus recipe sheets and product lists to take home.

Taught by Jeff Mao of Knead & Nosh, Presented by Maine Tasting Center.

*OPTIONAL: $10 fee (payable in cash to the instructor) if you would like your own set of mooncake molds to bring home after the class.
