Abu Dhabi’s culinary calendar shows no signs of slowing. The capital’s latest highlight is an exclusive, hands-on pastry masterclass at Knead Bakery & Patisserie, led by Chef François Perret. Recognised globally and revered by dessert lovers, Chef Perret arrives in the UAE to share the techniques, textures and finesse that have made his creations a benchmark for modern French pâtisserie. Sessions run on 28, 29 and 30 September from 1pm to 5pm, and are priced at AED 800 per person.
Designed for both professionals and passionate home bakers, the class places participants at the marble counter, learning directly from the chef as he demonstrates signature methods and time-saving tips. Expect meticulous instruction that reflects the “elegance, balance, and generosity” that define his work. From mixing and lamination to piping and finishing, each step is presented with clarity so guests can replicate the results with confidence at home.
If you are new to Chef François Perret, his pedigree speaks for itself. He spent a decade at the Ritz Paris, where confections like the “mille-feuille to go” and feather-light madeleines became instant favourites. His star continued to rise with the Netflix series The Chef in a Truck, which followed his mission to bring haute French desserts to the streets of Los Angeles. The show cemented his status as a culinary leader who can create world-class pastry that is both refined and accessible.
Knead Bakery & Patisserie provides a fitting stage for this experience. The bakery’s commitment to quality ingredients and polished technique complements Chef Perret’s approach, creating an environment where aspiring pâtissiers can immerse themselves in the craft. Whether you are refining your professional repertoire or elevating your weekend bakes, this masterclass promises practical knowledge, polished skills and desserts that look as beautiful as they taste.
If you’re looking for a unique experience in Abu Dhabi, this pastry masterclass promises to be as rewarding as it is delicious. Spaces are limited, and demand will be high for an event of this calibre.
