Ate my bagels for breakfast

JANICE_M, Jun 2025

My husband loves to cook and bake so this was perfect. We made enough bagels to take home 12 with us. I had two for breakfast and they were awesome. Sam loves what he does and it shows. The time went by fast. My bagels were delicious. The history of bagels was even very interesting. You get to actually roll and form the bagels, then get to boil them before you coat them in your choice of various seeds or seasoning. Then they get baked. Before you leave with your fresh bagels, Sam and Reva cook up the odd extra bagels to serve us with various spreads and of course lox. If you are thinking of doing this, I suggest do it. You won't be disappointed.

It was fun, and inspiring! Looking forward for more lessons!

Changing the venue at the last minute but ‘‘twas worthwhile, at Chelsea piers neighborhood (new venue) was huge and lots of space to move around! Co-participants we’re all friendly and pleasant & teachers were very accommodating & made us feel relaxed!
