Hi Veronica, Thank you for your review. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the class! Best wishes Cookery School

Thank you for your review. We take all criticism seriously so have looked at what you have said as this has been one of our more popular classes for many years. I have also spoken to staff concerned. We are very clear on our site that the puff pastry and pate sucre are demonstrated. We believe that we are the only cookery school that lists everything that is learnt in every class. We pride ourselves on our transparency. Most importantly is that those attending the class learn to make a really wonderful,light and buttery short pastry. If you are able to replicate that, I would be very happy. All classes have a set running order and this was adhered to. Everyone makes a Cornish pasty or two to take home. You were shown how to make a perfect pie filling before it was chilled for everyone int the class to use. You used the remaining short crust pastry to learn how to cover a pie in a bowl - chicken and mushroom and beef and ale - which is always eaten at Cookery School accompanied by an organic local brew. As a pate sucre is far more forgiving and easier to do than a regular short crust pastry, this is demonstrated and the pie filled with apple that is baked and eaten at the end of the class too. We have had requests over the years for people to understand how puff pastry is made so that is demonstrated quickly so that students can understand how it rises and learn to use it too to top a pot pie. I believe that at this class there was a request to use pastry on the top and bottom of the pie so that the teacher showed how this is done. This class is only three hours long so we are limited in what can be taught and we focus on the most important ingredient ie good pastry. We do not like our customers to feel disappointed and do our best to fulfil what we promise to deliver. We will happily provide you with a voucher to attend another class of choice to learn another new skill. Please contact us and we can arrange this.

We are pleased that you had such a good day of cooking with the lovely Carolina. We look forward to welcoming you to Cookery School again.

Hi Danielle, I hope after leaving our Slice and Dice - Knife Skills class you have gained the confidence to continue cooking and tackle any slicing and dicing you have to do in the kitchen in the future. I`m delighted to hear you felt that John was patient and knowledgeable. Best wishes Cookery School
