Fresh pasta is as easy to master as it is sublime to eat.
A true labour of love, hand made pasta is gesture of generosity and one which tend to bring huge joy to those lucky enough to be served.
Artisan pasta, cooked correctly, is easier on the gut than shop bought pasta. It can be kept for days in the fridge, or frozen and transferred straight from the freezer to a pan of boiling water for quick mid week suppers.
You will learn how to make Spaghetti, Tagliatelle, Orecchiette, Ravioli and Tortellini as well as some of the classic Italian sauces and fillings. We include our personal favourites Brown butter & sage, Tomato & Basil, Pesto, Ricotta & Spinach and Broccoli, Chiili & garlic .
Full recipe packs, lunch with wine and pasta to take home included in the class.
We are found at the very end of Purbeck Road (off Hills Rd by the sixth form centre) where you turn left by Abbey college and then carry straight on for about 60m to the white awnings you will see ahead.
Please note that there is very limited parking on site. We recommend the multi storey at the Leisure Centre less than 10min walk away or the Babraham Park & Ride which stops on Hills Road, very close to Purbeck Rd.

April showers or warm sunshine, what better way to spend one of the Easter Holiday mornings than baking together? Hot Cross Buns and daffodil-yellow Saffron plats gives great insight in baking well with fresh yeast, and results in bags ready for the freezer and Easter.
Within a neat hour we prepare to so called “enriched” doughs and shape all the ingredients of a classic hot cross bun delicious little snails, ie rolled like a Swiss roll, then sliced. Much easer for young bakers and, we think, much more delicious as there is more gooey-ness here! The plats are great fun to shape and result in an impressive looking golden large bread ready for sharing.

All our chefs are skilled and passionate artisan bakers, with unrivalled knowledge of everything from Sour Dough to Croissants. We share all that skill in our celebrated one hundred percent hands on bread making classes.
We love the way this class results in simple euphoria – so great is the joy of baking perfect bread!
Our experienced artisan bakers will guide you through fresh and dried yeast, the impact of different types of flour, the secrets of rising, shaping and proving and what is required to make amazingly good bread time and time again.
No previous experience or a dab hand already? Either way, this class will open your eyes to what makes good bread. We start with coffee and cake and finish with a light lunch with wine. You will leave with groaning bags of fresh bread and we recommend creating some space in your freezer prior to the class!
We make a classic, basic white yeast risen dough for a White Tin; a baking soda risen, rich and savoury Scandinavian Soda Rye loaf, we learn how to make enriched dough for feather light little Rye rolls and finish off with our legendary Swedish Cinnamon buns, getting to grips with a sweet, seriously enriched dough. You will leave with a solid grasp of how to make yeast risen dough, with the confidence to expand on it at home.

So many of you are asking for a “next level” bread class and here it is!
Whilst you don’t need to be a confident bread maker to get the most out of this class, we think the techniques used work best as a follow-on to our Beginners Bread class. Building on from the essential techniques for bread making, this class takes yeast risen dough further by introducing lamination or French pastry technique, incorporating whisked egg white in bread dough, different proving and shaping techniques. We focus on Northern European yeast risen breads:
Danish Tebirkes made by incorporating butter through folding as per Croissant technique but with more savoury overtones and resulting in a sublime layered breakfast pastry topped with poppy seeds.
Swedish Rågkakor or Rye cakes not cakes at all but a golden syrup, fennel and caraway infused soft rye bread.
German Brötchen incorporating whisked egg white for slightly chewy yet ultra light little rolls
Danish Gifler light breakfast crescents cut and shaped like croissants but without the incorporation of butter
We share a typical Nordic Lunch while the final breads bake, consisting of fresh bread, fresh butter made in class, salami, mature Swedish Cheese and Black currant jam – served with the mature cheese as per classic Scandinavian preference!

Our chefs are skilled and passionate artisan bakers, with decades of experience. We share all that skill in all our one hundred percent hands on bread making classes. As a cookery school our role is to share our knowledge and empower our guests.
This class will de-mystify sour dough and make it accessible for home bakers. The class allows for Q&As and a friendly and helpful teaching style. The focus is on key factors for successful sour dough baking – temperature control and timing.
Sour dough is by far the most delicious and healthy of breads. It offers resistance demanding chewing, which aids digestion, it tastes like bread used to and it has a low GI which further aids digestion and delivers slow release energy. What’s not to like?
We make one classic sour dough loaf and some lovely seeded semi-sour dough rolls using both a starter and a small amount of dry yeast. This recipes demonstrates how sour dough can be made quicker when that is required, by adding a very small amount of dry commercial yeast to the starter-based dough. Our third recipe for the class is a sour dough version of our Swedish cinnamon rolls.
We start by gathering around for morning coffee or tea with something freshly baked, and finish off by enjoying a light lunch with freshly made bread, while the final trays of bread bake.
The class includes full recipe packs, 3 sour dough based bakes, a slow rising dough made in class and taken home to bake off the next day and also your own freshly created starter which will hopefully be the mother of many doughs and breads to come.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLASS FOR NOVICE BAKERS AS SOUR DOUGH IS SO DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL BREAD. WE VERY MUCH SUGGEST THAT YOU START BY TAKING OUR BEGINNERS’ BREAD CLASS.

Pastry is a buttery joy, the most delicious carrier for both sweet and savoury fillings. Despite its reputation for being tricky, succeeding with hand made pastry is simply a case of understanding the whys and hows. Temperature control and timing is everything – the rest is simply butter, flour and, usually, eggs!

All our chefs are skilled and passionate artisan bakers, with unrivalled knowledge of everything from Sour Dough to Croissants. We share all that skill in our celebrated one hundred percent hands on bread making classes.
We love the way this class results in simple euphoria – so great is the joy of baking perfect bread!
Our experienced artisan bakers will guide you through fresh and dried yeast, the impact of different types of flour, the secrets of rising, shaping and proving and what is required to make amazingly good bread time and time again.
No previous experience or a dab hand already? Either way, this class will open your eyes to what makes good bread. We start with coffee and cake and finish with a light lunch with wine. You will leave with groaning bags of fresh bread and we recommend creating some space in your freezer prior to the class!
We make a classic, basic white yeast risen dough for a White Tin; a baking soda risen, rich and savoury Scandinavian Soda Rye loaf, we learn how to make enriched dough for feather light little Rye rolls and finish off with our legendary Swedish Cinnamon buns, getting to grips with a sweet, seriously enriched dough. You will leave with a solid grasp of how to make yeast risen dough, with the confidence to expand on it at home.
We are found at the very end of Purbeck Road (off Hills Rd by the sixth form centre) where you turn left by Abbey college and then carry straight on for about 60m to the white awnings you will see ahead.
Please note that there is very limited parking on site. We recommend the multi storey at the Leisure Centre less than 10min walk away or the Babraham Park & Ride which stops on Hills Road, very close to Purbeck Rd.
