Get ready for a sweet tour through Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods with Second City Sweets: Modern Confections inspired by the Windy City.

Join native Chicagoan Chef Alissa Wallers and honorary Chicagoan Chef Paul Yochum as they lead you through a series of creative, neighborhood-themed confections. Each recipe is inspired by the distinct flavors, history, and character of different Chicago neighborhoods, all connected through the famous CTA train lines. This hands-on culinary adventure will take you on a delectable journey through the city’s rich and varied confectionery culture with building upon the fundamentals covered in our Discovering Chocolate course.
