When you think of French bread, the iconic baguette might come to mind, but there’s a whole world of rustic, flavourful French breads waiting to be explored! In this session, you’ll bake some of France’s most beloved breads, using tried-and-tested recipes straight from a French farmhouse. You’ll master the rustic Pain de Campagne, a hearty French country sourdough, craft the perfect slow-developed baguette, shape a rye miche and create the eye-catching classic fougasse. Plus, dive into the rich history of French bread terms and try your hand at shaping the beautiful “epi” loaf. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a curious beginner, this is your chance to knead, shape and bake like a true French artisan.

Evening Cookery Club - Portuguese Fish & Seafood

Say Portugal and you might think about golf, surfing, the Algarve and Ronaldo! But Europe’s most westerly point and oldest nation (dating back to 1139) was a super-power of maritime explorers so no surprise its cuisine relies heavily on seafood such as grilled octopus, seafood rice and grilled sardines as well as the ubiquitous bacalhau salt cod of which they still get through 25,000 tonnes annually! Nando’s was inspired by Portuguese cuisine – especially its piri-piri chicken – but our favourite isn’t this, or their deliciously-sticky-sweet Port with queso, but will always be the delightful Pastel de nata custard tarts! Book now to try some of these inspired culinary creations from the lesser-known part of the Iberian Peninsular. Event suitable for gluten free. Not suitable for vegetarian or vegan. For home cooks who want to explore something new. Our cookery classes are relaxed, informative and fun and are specially designed by our teaching chefs to give you skills and confidence in the kitchen. So enjoy an alternative night out preparing a delicious, seasonal selection of dishes which you can eat during strategic breaks or simply take home to enjoy in front of the T.V.! All of our weeknight cookery club sessions are suitable for beginner cooks and are led by our friendly chef tutors. WHERE: Blackfriars Cookery School TIMES: 6-9pm COST: £90 per person per evening which includes all your food produce, and meal to take home and simple refreshments during the class.
