 Cookery Masterclass for Four
Hazlewood Castle was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, and has been the location for some spectacular feasting down the centuries. Now it's the perfect location for this great foodie experience. You'll start off with a glass of champagne, followed by a two course lunch at the fabulous Restaurant Anise (where the cooking has come on a lot since 1086). Then you'll go for a brief tour of the castle. Next it's time for some hands-on fun, with a two-hour cookery demonstration from esteemed head chef Tim Hamer. Tim started his career at the Grosvenor House hotel (previously known as Le Meridien Grosvenor House) and has several years experience working at top level. He'll show you how to prepare a variety of dishes, some classic, others with a twist. The demonstration includes a tasting session and you'll get copies of the recipes to take home. Remember to leave room for afternoon tea and cakes at Restaurant Anise at the end of your experience.

Unlike some top chefs, Anton Mosimann doesn't spend half his life on TV - but his cooking is all the better for it. He's the holder of the Royal Warrant for Catering Services to HRH the Prince of Wales, and he's been awarded an OBE. Your experience begins with a coffee and a tour of the Mosimann Academy, which Anton set up as a centre of learning and excellence in cooking. The tour will take in Anton's amazing private library, which contains over 6,000 cookery books, dating from as far back as the 15th century. Then you'll watch a cookery demonstration by a top chef, where you'll be able to pick up a few new skills, before being whisked by coach to Mosimann's, the renowned private dining club in Belgravia. Relax in the splendid surroundings of one of the private dining rooms - the building was originally used as a church in Victorian times - and enjoy a fantastic three course dinner with wine.

Casanova called it the 'elixir of love'. French doctors used to prescribe it to women with broken hearts. Scientists say it stimulates the release of endorphins, the 'happy hormones'. Need we say more? This fabulous chocolate workshop begins with an informative talk on the history of chocolate, either by a master chocolatier, who served as the Head Pastry Chef at the Ritz Hotel in both London and Paris, or by an experienced chocolatier. Sample the chocolate fountain before you move onto the creative part of the workshop, making truffle fillings, then dipping your truffles into Belgian chocolate and decorating them with a variety of toppings and coverings. As a delicious memento of your experience you'll take home between 40 and 50 Belgian chocolates each, all wrapped, designed and made by you, to share with friends and family - or to save as a special treat.
