Masterclass: Matty Edgell & Tom Hamblet

Cook like a champion with GBBO & MasterChef: The Professionals winners

Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience as two of the UK’s most celebrated chefs come together for a cooking class like no other!

Join Matty Edgell, beloved winner of The Great British Bake Off, and Tom Hamblet, champion of MasterChef: The Professionals, for an unforgettable day of cooking, learning, and behind-the-scenes stories.

This unique class gives you the best of both worlds – the precision and flair of a professional chef with Tom, and the creative, approachable charm of a home-baking hero with Matty.

Two-course dinner with Matty & Tom

You’ll kick off your day with a warm drink and a fresh pastry — the perfect chance to relax, mingle with fellow food lovers, and get to know your classmates before stepping into the kitchen for a hands-on cooking session led by Matty.

Working in pairs at your own workstation, you’ll dive straight into the action with expert guidance from not one, but two award-winning chefs. Following Tom and Matty’s demonstrations, you’ll put new skills into practice as you prepare a delicious two-course meal, tasting and enjoying your creations as you go.

Throughout the class, Matty and Tom will be right there with you — offering advice, showing techniques, sharing their culinary know-how, and sprinkling in plenty of tips, tricks, and behind-the-scenes stories from their time on the Great British Bake Off and MasterChef: The Professionals.

This unique workshop strikes the perfect balance of relaxed enjoyment and technical insight. You’ll leave with new skills, new confidence, and a standout dinner menu you’ll be proud to recreate at home.

To round off your experience, you’ll take home a Season Cookery School apron and a signed recipe pack as the perfect momento.
