Once enrolled I will send out a detailed list of the weighted ingredients for you to weight them out ahead of time and make the most of your Afternoon Tea Masterclass!

Attention to using knives to cut the sandwiches and use of an oven. Highlighting kitchen safety will be underpinned throughout the entire class as well as the importance of the patience required in leaving things to cool as well as the danger of leaving knives in the sink to wash up later. Food poisoning will also be discussed and we will discuss how we can avoid this occurring in daily life.

Eggs and milk are used in the recipes but can be switched for egg replacer and soya milk. Equally gluten-free bread will work in place of standard gluten bread, as well as flour replacement if required. Learners are invited to choose their own sandwich fillings according to their preferences.
