The Practical Dessert Course is an intensive day of working on delicious Taystful or classic recipes. They are designed for attendees who may want to improve their confidence in the kitchen making desserts either for themselves, family members or for entertaining friends! 

The skills include - using a bain mairie (brulée), making a frozen dessert (parfait), pastry (apricot,orange and almond tart), making a refrigerated dessert in a glass (posset), hot sponge (upside down pudding),  and a gluten free, dairy free, vegan idea too! 

Not only do you get to take home the tasty creations (although we may have eaten some on the day!), you'll have the recipes, new skills and knowledge to recreate them at home. 

Since we cover so much on the day, making the recipes may be shared between all the attendees, and tasks will be rotated so that everyone gets a chance to experience as much as possible! You will take a variety of the desserts home. We will discuss shelf life, practicality for preparing the desserts for a dinner party and storage. 

NB. Not suitable for sufferers of allergens: soy, milk, gluten, nuts, eggs, sulphites, sesame seed or peanuts, as traces or substantial amounts are present in the ingredients we use. Artificial colourings may also be used. Recipes listed here may be subject to change.
