Pastry Party with Anna Polyviou at Work-Shop

Overview

At the words 'Pastry Party' you are no doubt salivating like Pavlov's dog and dreaming of a room filled with coloured balloons and enough chocolate croissants and cinnamon doughnuts to drown you in a blissful sugary tsunami.

If you can believe it, it's actually better than that. At Anna Polyviou's Pastry Party, the expert chef (executive pastry chef at Sydney's Shangri-La Hotel, to be exact) will give you a cooking workshop where you'll learn how to make your own amazing pastry treats at your leisure so that you can throw out your Jamie Oliver and Ottolenghi and devote yourself to the most important food group: sugar. Polyviou's is even adding her own personal DJ to the mix so you can learn to make push pops to Salt-N-Pepa's 'Push It' or pina colada wagon wheels while you dance around your mixing bowl to 'Tequila'.

All ingredients and equipment are provided, meaning all you have to do is show up ready to bury yourself arm deep in pastry.
