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

The Brown Cow Pub in Fulham – Review

Updated: Aug 7, 2024

If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Fulham's High Street, The Brown Cow Pub offers a serene haven paired with an exceptional brunch experience.

For starters we chose the Grilled Summer Courgettes. Grilled summer courgettes were perfectly charred and paired with succulent Isle of Wight tomatoes. The vegan burrata was creamy and indulgent, and the Fresh basil provided an aromatic finish that tied the dish together beautifully.

For my main I opted for the Ravioli of Simplicity 'Nduja' and Olive Ragu, a standout dish, featuring ravioli filled with spicy 'nduja. The robust olive ragu added depth, while the slow-roasted tomato and fennel provided a touch of sweetness.

My companion opted for the 8oz Ribeye Steak. The steak was cooked to perfection, with a rich, flavourful garlic butter melting over it. The thick-cut chips were crispy and golden, the roasted mushroom earthy and tender, and the fresh watercress added a peppery bite. For an extra touch of indulgence, the peppercorn and béarnaise sauce options are highly recommended.

To accompany our mains we picked the BBQ Sweet Potato with Pineapple Salsa. The BBQ sweet potato had a smoky, caramelised exterior which was delicious, perfectly balanced by the bright, tangy pineapple salsa.

To round up the meal and satisfy our sweet tooth we shared the Vegan Three Little Biscoff-Filled Donuts: These donuts were a vegan delight, each bite revealing a creamy biscoff filling. The donuts were light, fluffy, and indulgently satisfying.

We also shared the Vegan Cheddar Valley Strawberries: This dessert was a perfect end to the meal. The fresh Cheddar Valley strawberries were juicy and sweet, beautifully paired with whipped lemon cream. The pistachio shortbread added a delightful crunch, and the strawberry sorbet was refreshing and vibrant.

The Brown Cow Pub offers an unforgettable dining experience that begins with a relaxing brunch and extends into a delightful evening. Whether you're in for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this Fulham gem promises culinary excellence in every dish.
