Christmas Log – Decadent Christmas Roulade
<p>Old Christmas traditions of burning a wooden log in a few European countries (Portuguese, Germany, and others) inspired French chefs to invent a delicious and decadent chocolate dessert, which is called Bûche de Noël (translated Christmas Log). Burning wooden logs wasn’t an original tradition in Czech and Slovak, but in the last few years, this dessert has grown in popularity in Czech and Slovak households. And now, it has turned into a Christmas tradition and a great new addition to the Czech and Slovak Christmas series.</p><p><strong>Note</strong>: Suitable for vegetarians.</p><p>Our 4th Christmas Series consists of 8 classes. 7 classes are brand new, with the Vánočka class (sweet, braided bread) being a repeat from the previous year.</p><p>Please note that you can attend any class in this series without having attended its predecessor.</p><p>You can join us for all 8 classes (the entire series) and get 2 classes totally free, or select the 5 that sound the best to you and get 1 class free; or lastly, you can purchase classes individually.</p><p>• <strong>Sign up for all 8 classes:</strong> $150 for NCSML members, $180 for non-members.
