Baking up a storm in Blackburn – our latest mouth-watering Masterclass!

The latest Kitchen Design Centre cooking Masterclass went off without a hitch this month as visitors to our beautiful Blackburn showroom were treated to a sumptuous selection of goodies, cooked right here in-house!

Kitchen appliances that make cooking easy

All of the tasty treats that our professional chefs and home economists cook up during our monthly cooking Masterclass are thought up by the gourmet minds at Neff. Better yet, all of the recipes are written with Neff’s range of compact kitchen appliances in mind .

This month, our talented host, Ann Reynolds used the Neff compact oven and combination microwave, plus the flex induction hob, to cook up more food than we thought possible! On the menu were mushroom paté with cheese on toast, sausages with a honey and mustard glaze, asparagus and leek frittata, oat and raisin cookies, chocolate brownies (recipe below!), plus scones, an apricot cake and a raspberry roulade.

Little wonder, then, that the event was attended by an enthusiastic crowd of cooking fans, all of whom got to sample the results of Ann’s labours at the end of the afternoon.
