Javier runs sell-out worshops for Divertimenti Cookery School in London and is in high demand for private client work. This class is the culmination of a series of classes Javier has agreed to run for us and a first for Cambridge. Javier’s master classes offer an unrivalled opportunity for competent bakers wishing to learn from a master and sheer heaven for those who simply love baking and fancy the idea of upping the ante for the festive season.

Coffee, tea and cake, a light savoury snack to keep blood sugar in check and a glass of bubbly are included in the class as is our usual full recipe pack. Bakers will of course leave with their own version of both cakes as well as sampling Javier’s master pieces  in class.

Javier will guide us through all the thechniques behind two complex French desserts; Strawberry and Champagne Bavarois and Peach and Crème Chiboust a la Canelle Tart which means we will be making Strawberry Mousse, Champagne Bavarois, Italian Meringue, Vanilla Sponge, Pâte Sucrée,  Crème patissière and Raspberry Coulis!

At the end of the class, after coffee breaks, a light savoury snack to keep blood sugar levels in check and a glass of chilled Prosecco, each baker will take home their creations. We will of course also sample Javier’s master pieces in class.
