Who doesn't love watching "Great British Bake Off"?

We are huge fans ourselves, so we decided to recreate the famed tent in our own SoHo kitchen, minus the competitive element. Instead we'll drink tea together while learning the baking techniques behind some of the show's signature desserts.

Due to popularity, we now have 2 GBBO-inspired classes. Makes sure to check out our GBBO Cake Week class too! 
Each participant will go home with their own 4-inch Victoria Sandwich Cake and a slice of Swiss Roll to impress family + friends.

• Victoria Sandwich Cake (with raspberry jam and whipped cream)
• Classic…

• Chicken-Miso Ramen Broth
• Homemade Ramen Noodles
• Crispy Pork Belly
• Soy-Marinated Jammy Eggs
• Ramen Accoutrements (scallions, bok choy, nori, chile oil)

We'll focus on each cooking technique, using multiple ingredients to drive it home, so you leave confident to cook up most any food in your own home kitchen.

Each class concludes with a full sit-down meal where you and fellow classmates enjoy everything you cooked.
