Pastry for Beginners

Home cooks often feel intimidated by the thought of making pastry from scratch, which can be viewed as too tricky and technical. Indeed there is even a word for this, “mageirocophobia" (the fear of cooking/baking). However, like all things, it’s easy when you know how.

In this hands - on class our chef will guide you through a selection of pastries and preparations, demonstrating just how easy it can be to make your own delicious pastry in a matter of minutes. As always the class will be peppered full of hints and tips to help you on your way.

You will learn:

• Rich shortcrust pastry (ricotta, spinach and dill tart)
• Soured cream pastry (lemony chicken pie)
• Suet pastry (tartiflette mini pies)
• Sweet shortcrust pastry (custard tart)

For lunch you will enjoy fruits of your labour, accompanied by a delicious glass of wine.
