This session is designed to get guests thinking outside the box and be creative. After a short cookery demonstration of the recipe, guests cook in pairs to create their own signature bake. Each pair will work from the same base recipe whether a chocolate roulade, salted caramel éclairs or apple, maple and pecan jalousie. We will provide a huge array of additional ingredients to choose from. There will be plenty of help on hand to guide and advise; and the finished bakes will be judged on overall quality, appearance and, most importantly, taste!

Cocktails & Canapés Aimed at winding down, this evening event involves less cooking than our other sessions. After a cocktail demonstration and all important tasting, guests will work in pairs to create a unique infused syrup. Before bottling it up to take home, they will add a splash of their own syrup into a cocktail to enjoy whilst they sit back, relax and watch our chef create a selection of canapés just for them. All about the Gin Professional gin distiller Martin Jennings will explain the history of gin and how it is distilled whilst you sample a series of gin based cocktails. Then it s time to get hands on in pairs (or groups of 4 for larger classes) and create your own gin. The individual botanicals used to make the gins have been distilled from ingredients foraged and grown on the Chewton Glen estate. Each guest leaves with a small bottle of their own blend. For an extra edge why not have Martin turn it into a competition by tasting each gin and presenting Bronze, Silver and Gold awards.
