About International Chef Masterclasses
These aren't just demonstrations where you watch from afar. You are at the workstation, replicating signature plating, tempering chocolate, or mastering viennoiserie right alongside legends like Antonio Bachour or Karim Bourgi. We ensure the batch sizes remain tight so you get that one-on-one correction on your technique, not just a glance from the back of the room.
Beyond the Recipe Book
When we host an international masterclass at our Bangalore or Delhi labs, the goal is simple: bridge the gap between being a baker and becoming a creator. You aren't just following a recipe card; you are learning the 'why' behind the ingredient, the nuance of texture, and the precision of flavour balance that sets global pastry apart.
Hands-On Mentorship
We believe in learning by doing. In these intensive sessions, you get full access to our professional-grade facilities—marble tops, blast chillers, and deck ovens are standard. Whether you are deconstructing desserts with Chef Joanna Artieda or diving into complex chocolate work with Chef Antonio Bachour, the focus is on your hands and your output. We keep groups small to ensure you get direct, actionable feedback from the chefs themselves, not just their assistants.
The Lavonne Community
By joining one of our masterclasses, you become part of the Lavonne family. It is about more than just the 2 or 4 days you spend in the kitchen. It is about the networking, the shared stories, and the camaraderie you build with fellow pastry professionals. Many of our students have used the techniques learned here to pivot their careers, start their own boutiques, or refine their hotel kitchen offerings. Once a Lavonnette, always family. If you are ready to stop competing and start creating, let's get to work.
Lavonne
At Lavonne, we are a wild mix of bakers, dreamers, and dhol beats. When we bring in global icons, it is not just for a show—it is about passing on the trade secrets that changed our lives. Come join the family and level up your craft with us.
