Retro Puddings Workshop

This hands-on workshop takes favourite, classic recipes from the past and brings them up to date, adding a contemporary twist, and proving that they are still worthy of a place at your table.

Skills covered on the day will include making meringues and fresh lemon curd, rich short-crust and choux pastries, frangipane and chocolate ganache.

Lunch is not served on this course, but you are invited to eat one of your favourite puddings with a glass of dessert wine at the end of the session.  The rest of your creations can be taken home to impress family and friends.
