What to expect

Learn to cook, experience chef-life in a professional kitchen, and enjoy the most incredible city views from the 58th floor of an iconic London skyscraper. Introducing our cooking masterclasses at the Gordon Ramsay Academy, Powered by HexClad.

After whizzing up to our sky-high kitchen, you'll join our Academy chef, don your aprons and be guided in every step of making your own bao - from mixing the dough, kneading and shaping, steaming for the perfect fluffy texture, and finally in creating a delicious array of sticky, spicy, crunchy, sweet and sour fillings, such as incredible melt-in-the-mouth char siu pork.  

During the 2-hour class, you'll be making everything hands-on, with demonstrations and close instruction to ensure you get top results and are confident in recreating the most epic bao at home. The class will end with a delicious feast of your beautifully crafted buns with a glass of wine as you overlook the bustling streets of London below.
