About the Event
Join the brilliant Andrew Smyth (GBBO, series 7) live from Derby, England on Sunday 18th October at 8pm UK who will teach you his edible gifts class that will teach his Chocolate and Hazelnut Biscotti, and Orange Madeleines.
The Chocolate and Hazelnut Biscotti are almost a breakfast item but Andrew won’t claim that they’re incredibly healthy, even though there is no fat in them! The lack of fat means they will keep for a few months in an airtight container so are a perfect storecupboard snack or gift for friends. They’re perfect dunked in a cup of tea or, like the Italians, in a glass of dessert wine.
The Orange Madeleine's are French simplicity at its best. This simply scented sponge is best eaten straight out of the oven as soon as the syrup has been brushed on.
We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Andrew's time on TV, before we ask you to put on your aprons and bake along as you watch Andrew demonstrate all the skills required to make this lovely treat. Our class will take around 1h 45 minutes as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories from Andrew.
