Eggs Benedict with Real Hollandaise

Eggs Benedict is undoubtedly a champion of the breakfast or brunch table and typically includes poached eggs, bacon and a toasted English muffin. It is topped with creamy and tangy hollandaise, a French sauce made from egg yolks, butter, and lemon. If you’ve shied away from attempting this classic, at Vanilla Zulu's masterclass, you'll uncover the secrets to consistently perfect hollandaise – no more scrambled messes or awful store-bought imposter hollandaise. Our expert chefs will guide you through the precise emulsification process, temperature control, and the art of poaching eggs to perfection, ensuring you master this iconic dish and impress every time.

A Menu Favourite – Croissants!

We all love flaky croissants with their golden-brown, crisp exterior that gives way to a tender, buttery, and airy interior that is simply irresistible. This French pastry evokes a sense of indulgence and sophisticated comfort, making it a beloved choice for starting the day right. Many home bakers find the idea of making croissants from scratch daunting due to the intricate process, but Vanilla Zulu's masterclass helps demystify this art. Our expert instructors will teach you the precise techniques for creating those magical layers and shaping the final product, so you’re ready to melt hearts with your own authentic, heavenly croissants at home.

Brioche from scratch

Unlike ordinary bread, brioche is enriched with a generous amount of butter and eggs, resulting in a slightly sweet, golden-hued loaf that's incredibly soft and luxurious. It's perfect for anything from French toast to simply enjoyed with jam. Due to its seemingly complex dough, it’s not something home bakers will attempt in a hurry, but be prepared for renewed confidence after you’ve tried Vanilla Zulu's masterclass. The Breakfast Brunch class includes how to make brioche from scratch. Discover the secrets to the texture and flavour, kneading, proofing, and shaping of this decadent breakfast delight.

Poached eggs made to perfection

Struggling to get your poached eggs just right with that runny yolk that spills out like liquid gold?  A staple on brunch menus and a go-to for healthy, satisfying meals, ambitious attempts at poached eggs can often result in ragged whites, undercooked centers, or overly firm yolks. In this Vanilla Zulu's masterclass, you'll uncover the precise methods for perfectly poaching eggs every time.
