Arrive at 9.30am for coffee and pastries, then head into the teaching kitchen at 10am for a two-and-a-half hour masterclass with the King of Pastry! It’s a chance to get hands-on, pick up the tips of the trade and leave with a bag full of goodies to take home! Is there a better way to spend a Sunday morning?
