Greetings to everyone at the end of this very interesting year. Pastry club has managed to run classes but compared to a normal year very few unfortunately. However things are looking up and classes are listed below for 2022 and hopefully we can see normal classes with a capacity of 8 people as in previous years. Also this year three further books have been published, Ice Creams and Sorbets in April, Tim’s Pastry Club Christmas last month and Chocolates and Truffles on the 1st of December. I am particularly proud of the Christmas book with its beautiful cover (thank Roger!) and the association with the charity Christmas for Kids under the umbrella of Embracing Arts who I have help raise to money for as they undertake amazing work for children.

I am doing a chocolate demo and Q and A at Caterham valley library on Thursday December the 9th from 7pm to 9pm for just £2 to attend so please contact Caterham library to book.

I also am going back onto ridge radio to talk to them about my next project a gluten free baking book which I have been working on for a couple of months. I am not coeliac but I have had lots of interest in this subject so I decided to investigate and the results are very interesting and this should be a very interesting book to write up so watch this space.

The list of classes for February to April is listed below.

It will be great to see you at classes next year so please check out the website for classes to book, these should be up in December or early January.

I wish you and all your loved ones a very merry Christmas and a happy new year

Happy baking
