Pastry Workshop

If you find making pastry a challenge, this is the class for you. Join us for a day of pastry enlightenment, when the secrets of making first class pastry are revealed. Once you have learned to make three classic pastries, you can use them to create endless sweet and savoury dishes.

The day begins with coffee and an introduction, followed by a demonstration of pâte sucrée, rich shortcrust and choux pastry. The rest of the day is hands-on, as you practice your pastry techniques under the helpful guidance of the Leiths teachers. A delicious lunch will be prepared for you so that you can take a break before completing your cooking. All of the dishes that you cook can be taken home to share with family and friends.

• Coffee & pastries on arrival
