Learn how to temper chocolate with Cook club’s new [behind the counter] series with Late Night Pudding Club

Cook Club’s first [behind the counter] session is set to be a chocoholic’s dream. On 21st October, the founders of Late Night Pudding Club, Siân Bliss and Josh Attwood, invite guests to learn how to make their beautiful Mezcalita chocolate bars from scratch, with cocktails, a little chocolate science and plenty of hands-on fun along the way.

Twice a month, Cook Club throws open the doors of Mission Kitchen, a living, working commercial kitchen and home to London’s most diverse community of food founders. Its new [behind the counter] series gives guests the chance to learn directly from the makers who’ve spent years perfecting their craft, discovering the tricks, techniques and little details that make their creations so special.

First up: an evening of cocktails and chocolate making funwith Late Night Pudding Club. Things kick off with a mezcal margarita from Josh and a few savoury snacks before guests roll up their sleeves and get stuck into the art of making fresh chocolate. Working in small groups, guests will whip up two delicious ganaches, chilli orange and vanilla bean white chocolate, before piping them into milk chocolate shells. Siân will then guide everyone through the magic of tempering chocolate by hand.

Once set, the bars are tapped out of their moulds and given the finishing touches: a decadent chocolate drizzle and a sprinkle of flaky salt. The best bit? Everyone leaves with two handmade bars, boxed up to take home, plus a recipe card to recreate the chocolate-making magic in their own kitchen!

Tickets costs £80, click here to book a spot! From 6pm - 9pm.

Includes: a welcome mezcal margarita (or a non-alcoholic alternative), savoury snacks, two Mezcalita bars to take home, and a recipe card (Ages 18+).

Address: Mission Kitchen, New Covent Garden Market, London, SW8 5EL

Nestled underneath Wood Wharf, The Lowback is set on top of a floating pavilion just behind Canary Wharf Station. Hawksmoor’s biggest bar yet is named after the small vehicle that helped launch and guide small boats. It features a nine-meter-long bar, deep green marble floors and a stunning timber surround, The Lowback is both glamorous and irreverent. Best of all? Cocktail hour is now cocktail hours! From 4pm to 7pm, expect new cocktails, new spirits and limited-edition tastings. Get on the mailing list…

The food remains top-notch as you would expect from these meat experts. Featuring the same grass-fed dry-aged, and grilled over charcoal meets triple-cooked chips, but there are new twists including bone marrow oysters, salt-beef nuggets. Meat-junkies will be pleased to hear that the iconic ‘Big Matt’ burger is making a permanent return.

The Lowback isn’t just belt-busting meat, there are plenty of options for all tastes and the drinks are superb. The signature cocktail is ‘The Lowback’ which consists of Plymouth gin, coconut and Yuzu served with a specially treated lime leaf on the side. Make sure you check out the sub-zero martinis and the new soft pink Bellini Moscato (peach, Campari, Moscato) alongside Anis-Cassis made with pastis (produced in Bristol) too.

Expect more to come from The Lowback too, the outdoor area is being specially designed for maximising summer nights, perfect for cheeky tipples, parties and events. The Lowback is going to be a fast hotspot to relax and be seen at.
