We had an exciting press day at Cookery School this week with French chocolate company Valrhona and its chocoaltier Andrew Gravette. Andrew will be running the first of Valhrona’s exclusive chocolate classes on March 15th right here at Cookery School, and it was a thrill to have him here for a preview of what the classes would be like.
The press event was just wonderful. Andrew is a mine of information and a most wonderful teacher, full of facts and lots of good tips. I’m so looking forward to March.
Here’s a little more information about the class:
It’s a very hands-on day where you will make a full range of recipes from the new Cooking with Chocolate recipe book, such as:
- Salt caramel and chocolate tart
- Earl grey truffles
- Hot chocolate with honey marshmallows
- Making and decorating Easter eggs
Techniques taught on the day include:
- Making ganaches
- Tempering chocolate
- Piping and decorative work
This eight hour day is from 9-5 and places are £230 each, and include a welcome breakfast, lunch and a copy of Cooking with Chocolate: essential recipes and techniques, Edited by Frédéric Bau, École du Grand Chocolat Valrhona.
