About this tour
Learn to shape French pastries alongside a pastry chef in a hands-on two-hour workshop. You'll master caramelised custard tarts, butter-enriched almond cakes, and choux-based bites, working entirely from raw ingredients. The session suits curious kitchen novices and seasoned home bakers alike, with guidance tailored to your level and a relaxed, communal atmosphere.

What to expect
You'll spend two hours at the bench alongside the cheffe, who demonstrates each technique before you replicate it. Expect to get your hands floury whilst learning the temperament of pastry doughs, the importance of precision in measurements, and how piping pressure shapes the final bake. The cheffe circulates to troubleshoot and refine your method. Mid-session, a coffee or tea break offers a chance to admire your work so far. By the end, you'll have three distinct pastries to box up and carry home, plus printed recipes for repeating them.
