The Event

🌿 Plant Powered Pastry Masterclass With Chef Lucia Russo ðŸŒ¿

Discover the art of plant-based patisserie in this indulgent and inclusive baking experience. In this masterclass, you'll learn how to create four stunning vegan desserts: a silky custard and fruit tart, a decadent chocolate Swiss roll cake, a layered Tiramisù, and delicate biscuits—all without dairy or eggs.

Your teacher, Chef Lucia Russo, brings a wealth of pastry expertise and a warm, approachable teaching style. Lucia’s love for baking began in her Nonna’s kitchen and took her through professional training at Università dei Sapori, followed by experience in some of Italy's top pastry shops. Since relocating to London in 2017, she has worked at renowned institutions like Fortnum & Mason and the Cadogan Hotel.

Now a fully plant-based chef, Lucia leads the kitchen at Third Culture Deli, where she fuses her Italian heritage with East Asian influences to create unique vegan bakes. Passionate about sharing her knowledge, Lucia also hosts supper clubs and teaches cookery classes that are as welcoming as they are delicious.

Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this class offers invaluable insights, practical tips, and the joy of making beautiful, compassionate desserts from scratch.
