A Passion for Chocolate

Are you a true chocolate lover, gazing through the shop windows of our fashionable “chocolatiers” and dreaming away by the smell of a hot cocoa?

If so, the Chocolate Master Class of The Capital Hotel’s very own pastry chef Andrew Gravett will be a dream come true.

Andrew has worked in the two Michelin starred kitchen at The Capital since 1999 and trained in some of the most prestigious schools in France, such as L’Ecole du Chocolat, using Valrhona chocolate from the Rhone Valley.

As wine, chocolate has a large variety of flavours and is a very complex ingredient to work with. From a very early stage in his career Andrew has been encouraged to create new compositions of chocolates and petit fours, always putting taste before presentation.

Guests participating at this Master Class will experience working with mouth watering flavours such as banana and rum ganache, earl grey ganache, lavender ganache, dark chocolate truffles and passion fruit ganache.

The Chocolate and Petit Fours Master Class includes Afternoon Tea at The Capital where guests can already taste some of the creations they will prepare themselves afterwards, followed by the Master Class lead by pastry Chef Andrew Gravett himself.

This is a truly unique experience for chocolate connoisseurs, lovers or simply those who want to learn more about chocolate. The Master Class can be booked from £95 per person excl. VAT under 0207 591 1215 or via email on events@capitalhotel.co.uk.

Dates: 5th February, 25th March, 3rd June, 9th September, 2nd December.
