Former World Skills winner Torrent, who started his career working with Heston Blumenthal, will show participants how to create some exciting and innovative desserts using Barry Callebaut chocolate during the masterclass, which will air live on BigHospitality on 23 March from 3pm.

Hosted by Alan Murchison, the live event promises to give an insight into the best ways of working with chocolate and inspire ideas for dessert menus and petits fours.

Participants will also be able to pose questions direct to Torrent after his demonstration and receive answers in real time.

Attendance for the interactive online masterclass is free, but you must register to be able to view it. All those who register in advance will also be entered into a draw to attend the masterclass in person.
