Savour uses the finest chocolate from Belgium and France with equipment from around the world. You take home a selection of what you make to delight your family, friends, parents and work colleagues. In fact all we ask you to do, is roll up your sleeves and enjoy learning by baking, whisking, rolling, kneading, stirring, tempering, adorning every piece you do.

There is no better way of learning and its made even easier with boutique class sizes that will never be larger than 12 people. The biggest problem you will have is convincing your friends that you were actually responsible for creating taste sensations, the likes of which have previously been confined to the gourmet kitchens of Europe!
