🍫 Chocolate Truffle Workshop – Bampton 🍫

A Self-Taught Baker Takes On Chocolate Tempering

Beccy describes herself as no trained chef, just someone who loves eating, and built Chez Beccy from that habit into kitchen textiles, baking demonstrations and hands-on workshops across Oxfordshire. This one is her most technical: two hours in Bampton Village Hall's kitchen, capped at eight people, working through proper chocolate tempering rather than the melt-and-hope version most home cooks know.

You make ganache truffle centres from scratch, learn to temper chocolate so it sets with a clean snap, coat your own truffles, and press out chocolate mendiants topped with dried fruit and nuts. Whatever tempered chocolate is left over goes into a batch of rocky road bark, so nothing is wasted. Every ingredient, mould and piece of kit is supplied, you just bring your hands.

You go home with fifteen truffles, fourteen mendiants and a slab of bark, plus a working grasp of a technique most people never bother to learn properly.
