It might seem a little odd to step into the kitchen of a five-star hotel and get to work, but Sauce by The Langham does just that. Book your masterclass and join the ranks of London’s best restaurant chefs who will share the joys of cooking via intimate sessions. There are no longer any excuses for flat soufflés, anxious dinner party planning, or scouring the internet for perfect gifts, because classes cover a range of skills and have been designed to suit all confidence levels and abilities. For the enthusiastic home cook, ‘Building Blocks’ focus on technique. Hone your knife skills, make fresh pasta, and learn the basics - stocks and sauces, the foundations to any recipe.
For those seeking something special, the Sauce Masterclasses offer full day experiences where guests have the chance to learn, in-depth, about one of the unique offerings at The Langham. Secrets from the birthplace of Afternoon Tea, Palm Court led by the Executive Pastry Chef, Andrew Gravett; pub favourites and the intricacies of pies are taught in a class led by James Hawley, Head Chef of modern British Tavern, The Wigmore; or a chance to peruse the archives of the Roux library with Executive Chef, Chris King, exploring the trade secrets of the professional kitchens, as well as French classics ideal for entertaining and special occasions. Classes start at £150.
