The art of choux @ Islington HQ

Join us for an exclusive choux pastry masterclass where you’ll learn everything from baking and piping to decorating. This hands-on experience teaches you how to create two stunning variations of choux pastry a sweet profiterole filled with pistachio crème pâtissière and topped with a glossy glaze, and a savory twist on a classic éclair. Under the guidance of an expert chef, you’ll gain the skills to recognize perfectly made choux, pipe it with precision, bake it to perfection, and cool it correctly, ensuring professional results every time.

During the class, you’ll watch your chef demonstrate both the sweet and savory creations, including profiteroles with freeze-dried raspberries and chopped pistachios and éclairs filled with smoked salmon, cream cheese, whipped horseradish, and chives. You’ll then apply these techniques yourself, with expert guidance to help you bake and present your choux like a top-class bakery. Once your creations are complete, you’ll take a seat at the chef’s table to enjoy one of each, or pack a box to take home. The class also includes a complimentary glass of bubbles or a soft drink on arrival, with water provided throughout and optional purchases available from the drinks menu.
