Join Maria Harper from The Edinburgh Canapé Company in this relaxed, hands-on workshop learning to make beautiful looking and tasting canapés; just in time for your own festive parties. This masterclass will take place at the Cyrenians Flavour and Haver Cook School from 10.30 to 2pm on Sunday 8th November.

Maria will teach you to make a selection of beautiful canapés in this morning of cooking. Expect plenty of tips, hands-on cooking, relaxed conversation and delicious snacks to take home! Warm drinks and a light lunch will be provided.

The exact menu is subject to change, but previous years canapé classes have learnt to make:

- Beetroot pesto on parmesan shortbread

- Crab and asparagus ribbons on sourdough toast

- Endive with pear, cheese and walnut

- Crayfish on cucumber baskets with wasabi mayo

- Rice boat with salmon tartare
