Cookery fans were in for a treat last week at our latest Colne Kitchen Masterclass from the Neff professionals, where we invite chefs to come in and rustle up some wonderful recipes in one of our stunning kitchen showroom.
As ever, our latest Masterclass welcomed a friendly group of cooking enthusiasts who were keen to get the latest tips and tricks from our Neff culinary expert.
Our chef got busy in one of our fabulously appointed kitchens, rustling up a wide range of recipes, including the moreish Cheese and Pesto Tear ‘n’ Share Bread – and you’ll find the recipe for that just below.
Seated around our Colne kitchen showroom, cookery fans got up close to the action and were invited to test out all of the finished dishes at the end of the evening – and rest assured, there was no shortage of volunteers for the job!
Everyone who attends our Neff Kitchen Masterclass is entered into a prize draw to win a beautiful set of Neff induction pans worth £125. This month’s lucky winner was Donna McKiernan, pictured here with our designer Maxine Hutchinson.
Commenting on this month’s Masterclass, Maxine said:
“As always, it was a pleasure to help host Kitchen Design Centre’s monthly Neff Masterclass. The attendees are always so enthusiastic, and there’s a great atmosphere every time – not to mention the fact that it’s a brilliant opportunity to get stuck in with the beautiful kitchens on display.”
Couldn’t make it to our Colne cooking masterclass but fancy making one of our delicious recipes at home? Take a look below for our mouth-watering Cheese and Pesto Tear ‘n’ Share Bread…
Ingredients
500 g Strong white flour
25 g Butter
2 tsp Sugar
1.5 tsp Salt
7g sachet Quick Yeast
300 ml luke-warm water
1 handful of pinenuts
1 clove of garlic
2 handfuls of Parmesan or Grana Padano
1 small splash of lemon juice
1 pinch Maldon sea salt for the mortar and pestle
1 small bunch of basil
Good quality quality extra virgin olive oil
Method
1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, butter and water in a bowl. Turn out on to a floured surface and knead well for 15 minutes. Cover in a bowl with a damp tea towel until doubled in size.
2. Knock back, roll out as if you were going to make a swiss roll, spread the pesto all over the dough, roll up, again, like a swiss roll, cut into 8 rolls (will look like Chelsea buns) and arrange on an oiled/buttered tray, cover with the wet tea towel and allow to double in size again.
3. When ready to bake, brush with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt (optional). Bake in the middle of the oven until golden and a hollow sound is heard when the bottom is tapped.
4. To make the pesto; Lightly toast the pinenuts in an oven, then make a paste in a mortar and pestle with the basil, salt, garlic and pinenuts, add the oil and grated cheese and mix.

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
