What to expect

Start the weekend off in the best possible way with a Lazy brunch cooking class. We’re taking it easy in this fun 90-minute class, making sure you’ve got a delicious brunch to enjoy at the end and setting you up with all the recipes and skills you need for stress-free weekends at home. 

Whip up a simple chickpea batter and fry up these light, crispy pancakes with your classmates. We’ll also help you make a delicious topping such as a Sicilian-inspired caponata and rich cashew cream (making this a fantastic vegan brunch), then at home, you can let your imagination run wild for brunch, lunch or dinner – try oozy burrata and pesto or slow-roasted tomatoes with prosciutto and ricotta. 

All ingredients and kit will be ready for you, plus recipes to take home after you’ve sat down with your classmates to toast your success. If there are any leftovers, you’re welcome to take those away with you, too.
