Pastry is my favourite. Weirdly, it’s even my to go to when I’m feeling low. Making the dough and turning it into delicious morsels, has somewhat a very soothing effect. So I find it extremely sad when people tell me they’re not good at it.
In this class, I will not only teach you how to make the perfect one, but also to enjoy making it.
In this workshop, you will learn how to make the perfect sweet and savoury shortcrust.
Together with a range of techniques such as frangipane and pastry cream to be able to create exquisite savoury croustades, quiches and beautiful sweet tartelettes.
This class is suitable for vegetarians.
At the end of the session, you will be able to take away your moreish creations.
This class includes a delicious home made lunch.

  • 5/5 from Clare Wiseman, attended Oct 2026: This was my second class with Corinne, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The classes are fun, well organised, welcoming, and suitable for a range of abilities. Corinne is easy to get on with, knowledgeable, and happy to share tips and techniques that you can easily use at home. The hands-on experience is excellent, and it's clear how much passion and expertise goes into teaching each session. I left with new skills, plenty of confidence, and some delicious creations to enjoy. A fantastic experience from start to finish, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves baking or wants to learn something new. I'm already looking forward to returning for another class!
  • 5/5 from Lorraine O'Brien, attended Aug 2026: Corinne's sweet and savoury masterclass was so enjoyable. I learnt so much and am now ready to practice at home. She demonstrates well and I had plenty of practice. I had a lovely lunch and came home with lots of tarts for the family.

  • 5/5 from Kathryn Marshall, attended Apr 2026: I had a brilliant day on this baking course. Corrine has a wonderfully adaptable teaching style, making it easy to follow along regardless of experience level — which was perfect for me as someone relatively inexperienced. What I really liked was her home, warm and realistic approach. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I had the pleasure of meeting some really lovely people. On top of that, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and got hands-on experience creating some truly scrumptious pastries. I left feeling inspired, more confident in my baking skills, and already looking forward to booking another course. Highly recommended!

Lots of tips and tricks that made making pastry seem like a breeze. We took home all our delicious bakes and I can't wait to start baking more at home. I will definitely be back for the French patisserie and Fraisier cake courses.
  • 5/5 from Millie Wang, attended Mar 2025: I had a fantastic day at Corinne’s Pastry Masterclass! Corinne is not only a great communicator but also incredibly passionate about what she does. Her strong teaching background truly shines through, making her an exceptional instructor. The class was held in a warm and welcoming home environment, beautifully decorated with stunning artwork created by one of her talented daughters. Beyond the amazing class experience, shared a lovely lunch with her and her husband, engaging in fascinating conversations about physics and his entrepreneurial journey. Both of them were friendly, professional, and inspiring. It was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn pastry skills in such a supportive and creative atmosphere!

My passion for cooking comes from my childhood. I was born on the island of Réunion, a small French colony off the coast of Madagascar. Although my parents moved to France when I was very small, the spirit of the island was very much alive in our home, and especially in our kitchen.
I love introducing a touch of sunshine into my cooking and often add tropical flavours from Réunion to my desserts to give a vibrant twist to the elegant French classics. All the recipes used at Gourmandises Académie are my own, and each one has been developed with time and a lot of love. I’m so happy to have been recognised with three stars in the prestigious Great Taste Awards.
I am excited to share some of these recipes with you and look forward to welcoming you into my home as a student of the Gourmandises Académie.
