When we think of Autumn, pumpkin and spices often come to mind. However, another comforting pastry to enjoy this season is the classic French Paris Brest. With caramelised nuts, praline-infused creams and soft, fluffy crème mousseline, this dessert is a true winner to add to your repertoire! So enjoy an alternative night out preparing a delicious, seasonal dessert and pastry treats 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.
