Eat Well & Age Gracefully: Dim Sum & Then Some with Chef Barry Infuso. Sponsored by AARP, the class is free.

In this Eat Well & Age Gracefully series class, sponsored by AARP, Veggie Dim Sum with Dipping Sauce, Almond Cookies, and Tea are on Chef Barry Infuso’s menu. Joining Chef Barry will be a very special guest – his wife, Jashio Pei – who’ll take you on a culinary journey reflecting her heritage.  

You’ll learn the secrets to creating the perfect dough, the art of folding your potstickers, and how to cook them to achieve that irresistible crispy bottom. Plus, you’ll whip up a tangy dipping sauce that perfectly complements the flavors of your homemade dim sum. Almond cookies and tea round out the menu.
