Hundreds of students enjoyed a masterclass on Wednesday served up by half a dozen chefs sharing their best practice and cooking tips.
The Patisserie Masterclass featured demonstrations by six outstanding chefs including:
- Shona Sutherland from Blairgowrie based Chocolatier Taystful with Szilard Szentesi from Cameron House.
- Kenneth Hett, multi-award-winning chef and lecturer
- Michelin-Star Glenturret Lalique’s Head Chef Mark Donald and Pastry Chef Kayleigh Turner
- Willie Pike MBE, master in sugar work.
The Patisserie Masterclass was the first in a series of free demonstrations taking place in 2024 with Seafood, Vegetarian & Vegan and Game scheduled throughout the year.
George McIvor the Chairman of Master Chefs of Great Britain said: “The feedback we have received from the students and lecturers following the launch of our Masterclasses last year has been excellent and we are so excited to be back in 2024 with a new Patisserie Masterclass supported by world-class chefs.”
Graeme Dey, Minister for Higher and Further Education said this was one of the highlights of his job, meeting students – and getting to sample Somme of the chocolates on offer.
