Masterclasses Information

---

Our popular Masterclasses will be making a long-awaited return!

Daniel will be offering both the Professional Masterclass 4-week course (parts I and II) as well as the General Masterclasses. 

The focused limited classes provide you with the opportunity to learn from one of Belfast's most trusted pastry chefs and get personal teaching and feedback in our professional kitchen on Beersbridge Road.

Our Basics Masterclasses are designed to teach you the correct techniques needed to achieve excellent results from less complicated bakes such as scones, brownies or a Victoria Sponge. 

Ideally for anyone who has an interest in baking, but only has an entry-level knowledge.  

Intermediate Masterclasses are for anyone who has had a bit more experience with more advanced recipes, but still needs a bit more knowledge to achieve great results. You'll learn techniques such as perfecting choux, chocolate mousse, and Tiramisu. 

If you are fairly confident in the kitchen, but haven't expanded your knowledge yet, this is a good place to start. 

In our Advanced Masterclasses Daniel will focus on teaching to a smaller group to ensure maximum learning, usually just two people per class. This is for anyone who has a very strong knowledge of baking and wants to learn techniques such as puff pastry from scratch or macarons. 

Our Professional Masterclasses are a 4-week course geared to chefs who are currently working in the industry, or home bakers who are very keen to get into a professional role. 

These classes will not only teach techniques, but also baking theory such as how sugar, gluten, eggs and other ingredients work together and why they are critical. Other subjects are: meringues, sponges, creams & custards, and choux. 

Professional Masterclasses II will build on more technical skills and recipes and you are strongly encouraged to take the first four classes to familiarise you with the other techniques that are covered. 

Professional Masterclasses are available as a block and cannot be taken separately.  

Availability is limited to 4 people per class. 

Daniel is happy to discuss private one-on-one courses and tuition, whether in our production kitchen or at your home. Please use the contact form below for pricing and availability. 

• Professional Masterclasses will be available on Mondays at 10:30am or at 2:30pm. Classes will not meet on a Bank Holiday.
