Everything Matzo: Passover Cooking with International Flair

Forget everything you think you know about cooking with matzo. In this creative, hands-on Passover class, we’ll reimagine this humble staple as the foundation for bold, unexpected, and deeply satisfying dishes inspired by global flavors and modern technique.

Together, we’ll explore just how versatile matzo can be—transforming it into a light, airy sponge cake, a savory matzo “dough” that becomes playful twists on comfort food classics like matzo ball–style Scotch eggs and crispy, melty “matzo-rella” balls, and finishing on a sweet note with an irresistible matzo bark. Along the way, you’ll learn techniques for working with matzo meal and sheets, balancing texture and moisture, and building flavor while staying within the spirit of Passover cooking.

This class is designed for cooks of all experience levels—whether you’re a seasoned home cook looking to refresh your holiday menu or someone who longs for the flavors of Passover dishes from “back home,” reinterpreted in fun and modern ways. Expect plenty of hands-on cooking, tasting, and conversation, plus practical tips you can adapt for your own Passover table.

Please Note:
The Florida Academy of Baking is not a kosher kitchen, and we cannot guarantee that the matzo used in class will be certified Kosher for Passover. However, all recipes taught can be made Kosher for Passover when prepared with certified ingredients in a kosher kitchen.

Come curious, come hungry, and get ready to see matzo in a whole new light.

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child

YES: Couples/Roommates

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.) On Chef/Date Nights you will always have enough for two and generally extra to bring home too.

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
