Draft for Cookery School Event



Devizes Food and Drink Festival have teamed up with Vaughan's Cookery School
 to offer a cookery class that will enable you to reproduce for your own guests.......

 ~

"A Taste of Vienna" 



This special class at the renowned 'Vaughan's Cookery School
is on offer at half-price, especially for the Devizes Food and Drink Festival.  


As excitement rises leading up to the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, 
we are remembering last year's competition and the wonderful patisserie 
that Vienna is renowned for the whole world over. 
It's the perfect match for good coffee (or a nice cup of tea!), a superb way to end a meal.
 and much easier to make than you think, once you know the tricks.

This session will be an introduction to some of the tasty treats for which this Austrian city is famous.  Ranging from quick and easy to show-stopping impressive.

A Luxurious Chocolatey ‘Show-Stopper’
