Perfect Fillings for Pancake Day With Our Cookery Lessons

There's no doubt that pancakes covered with a simple mix of sugar and lemon juice are delicious, but there's also a wide variety of tempting fillings, both sweet and savoury, to excite the tastebuds.

If you want to impress friends and family for Shrove Tuesday tomorrow, then make sure your culinary skills are up to scratch with our exciting range of Cookery Lessons.

Spice it up

Indian inspired pancakes offer an appetising alternative for those wanting a bit more zest on Pancake Day.

If you're new to Indian cooking, or simply want to brush up on your techniques, then our half day and full day Indian cookery classes, or our Indian Vegetarian Masterclass, are ideal.

You will be guided by a professional chef throughout the hands-on experience and will find a new appreciation for Indian herbs and spices.

While many of the dishes will more than match your favourite takeaway, then can also provide the basis for a pancake filling with a twist.

Vegan versatility

Those cooking vegan pancakes with a plant-based milk can also create mouthwatering pancake fillings with our Vegan Cookery Masterclass.

The dishes you will prepare are 100% vegan and might include Chinese mushroom pancakes, while a possible filling is an aubergine and chickpea tagine.

What's more, the full day class will unlock vegetarian proteins, nuts and soya products, installing the confidence to create tasty vegan dishes, whether to go inside a pancake or enjoy as its own meal.

Sweet treat

Of course, sweet fillings are the order of the day for many pancake lovers, with chocolate the perfect filling.

We have a selection of Chocolate Making Workshops, including online, at venues across the UK.

Sessions can last anything from 90 minutes through to four hours with experienced chocolatiers revealing the secrets to making exquisite, luxurious chocolates.

While these wonderful creations are delicious handmade treats, the techniques learnt will provide a good basis for chocolate making, ensuring your next batch of sweet pancakes are ones to remember.

Child's crêpe

Youngsters can also join in with the pancake frivolities after they've learnt some basic cooking skills with our Kids Cookery Classes.

Techniques they will discover from professional chefs include prepping, mixing and cooking, with classic recipes on the menu.

A new found enthusiasm for cooking can easily be put to good use on Shrove Tuesday under adult supervision. Who knows, will their pancake filling steal the show!

Tasty Tuesday

In reality, you can put pretty much anything inside a pancake if you like it. Push the boundaries, and let your cookery imagination run wild, this Shrove Tuesday and see what works for you.

Perhaps you will draw inspiration from Spanish influences, look to the Middle East for ideas, view Vietnam for a culinary vision or jump to Japan - all cuisines you can learn to cook with our variety of cookery lessons.

If all else fails, then there's always the sugar and lemon to fall back on!
