Pie Making Classes

The original British pie making classes in London – established in 2009

Welcome to my newly relaunched pie making workshops, now held in my warm and welcoming home kitchen in Enfield, North London.

Whether you've never made pastry before or simply want to build your confidence in the kitchen, these small, friendly classes are relaxed, hands-on and completely unpretentious. We'll start with tea, coffee and a few homemade treats before rolling up our sleeves.

You'll be surprised how simple it is to make delicious pastry from scratch. I'll share the tips and techniques I've learnt over years of making pies professionally, giving you the confidence to recreate them at home.

Using quality ingredients, plenty of laughter and a relaxed home from home atmosphere, we're going to spend a lovely day cooking together.

What You'll Learn

During the 3-hour workshop you'll:

  • Make a traditional deep-filled British pie completely from scratch

  • Learn how to make buttery shortcrust pastry with confidence

  • Create delicious savoury pie fillings using quality ingredients

  • Bake some simple sweet tartlets

  • Master the secrets of a proper double-crust pie

  • Pick up tips and techniques you'll use again and again

  • Take home everything you've made to enjoy with family and friends

Ready to Make Pies?

Maximum of 4 people per workshop.

I've been teaching pie making since 2009. The popularity of my workshops led to the publication of my book,
The Little Book of Pies by Random House. I'd love to help keep the tradition of proper British pies alive—one pie at a time.
