Borough Kitchen Cook Shop & Cook School - Hampstead

4.7(112)·From £110.00 - £125.00·3h

Borough Kitchen Cook School - Hampstead combines a curated collection of premium kitchenware with intimate baking classes in their smaller north London venue. This distinctive setup allows students to learn with professional-quality tools whilst experiencing the more personal atmosphere that sets it apart from larger cooking schools.

The school specialises in French patisserie techniques, particularly focusing on macarons and seasonal baking. Classes welcome all skill levels, from nervous beginners who have struggled with delicate bakes at home to experienced bakers seeking to expand their repertoire with professional methods.

The French Macarons Cooking Class spans three hours and teaches the technical precision required for these notoriously tricky treats. Students master working with egg whites to achieve the ultra-delicate texture, learn proper piping bag techniques, and develop skills in food colouring precision. The class covers making both salted caramel and chocolate ganache fillings, with students taking home a box of their finished macarons alongside a complimentary glass of wine, beer, or soft drink.

During the festive season, the Christmas Petit Fours class expands beyond macarons to include chocolate truffle making and Italian cantucci biscuits. This three-hour session teaches chocolate tempering techniques and ingredient variations to create unique versions of traditional treats. The hands-on learning environment encourages experimentation whilst building confidence with advanced patisserie skills.

Borough Kitchen's Hampstead location suits bakers who appreciate learning with quality equipment in an intimate setting, particularly those drawn to the precision and artistry of French pastry techniques.
