Master the art of making delicate puff pastry – right in your very own kitchen!
Puff Pastry is an informative and accessible 3-hour LIVE virtual baking class where you will learn all there is to know about making puff pastry (also known as mille feuilles) – all from your very own kitchen.
Anneka Manning will guide you through the process and share her more than 35 years of baking experience, knowledge and research, as well as all of her practical and handy tips and tricks.
The virtual Live Session will be supported by printable recipes and resources that you can study at your own pace ensuring that you gain the confidence and skill to bake your own delicious puff at home. Anneka will also share some of her tried-and-tested recipes from Lamb and Harissa Sausage Rolls to a classic Vanilla Slice.
At the end of this class, you will walk away with all the knowledge, skill and confidence you need to be able to bake your own divine puff pastry at home and never rely on store-bought pastry again.
"There is no comparison between commercially made and homemade puff pastry. What seems so exotic and unattainable is made absolutely possible by Anneka's expert and easily mastered explanation and demonstration and support. Do the course and access a whole range of recipes you have always lusted over but thought you had to be a qualified pastry chef to attempt. You will be that pastry chef!" – Irene, New South Wales

How will I get the most out of this online class?
To get the most out of this class, you need to set aside the time to attend the Live Session with Anneka and read the support material supplied beforehand. The Live Session will be recorded so it will be available to watch at any time if you are unable to attend. However, we do recommend baking along to get the most out of the class.
If the date of this class doesn't work for you, you can still enrol and take part in your own time.

You will have lifetime access to the video, as well as all the course material (including all of the resources and recipes).
"I was always intrigued by homemade puff pastry but was always a little unsure of how to go about it. It seemed such a daunting kitchen task to overcome! The course gave me the confidence and showed me that it’s not that hard after all. I loved the virtual hands on class ... to be able to watch Anneka online was wonderful ... she is a wonderfully generous teacher!" – Amy, Victoria
