French Patisserie at the Cookery School, London

I had an enjoyable morning at the The Cookery School in London on the French Patisserie Course.  We were taught by Ghalid Assyb an experienced baker who had previously worked with Ottolenghi,the London bakery.

 Ghalid gave tips throughout the morning and answered questions from those on the course.

Throughout the three hours we used dough that has been made earlier to shape croissants, pain au chocolat, pain au raisin and brioche.

Here I am shaping the croissants, rolling up firmly from a triangle shape:

Here I am with some of the bakes we made together in The Cookery School








We were able to sample our bakes at the end of the morning and they were delicious. We also made some dough which we took home.  I made croissants with mine and all my family enjoyed them.



The half day course went very quickly and was good for building my confidence with french patisserie.  I have been sent recipes to try again at home.

Thank you to the Cookery School for kindly inviting me to attend one of their courses
