Pop up Pizza Masterclasses in London with Birra Moretti

We have all heard about the riotous success of pop-up clothes shops, pop-up cafes etc, but now something to satisfy your stomach... Italian beer brand Birra Moretti are inviting Londoners to their pop-up gourmet pizza masterclasses. Starting from today, Wednesday 27th until Friday 29th, three workshops will be held in London venues: Wednesday – Exchange Square, Thursday – Soho Square and Friday– Canary Wharf, running from 11am-4pm each day.

Top Italian chef Giancarlo Caldesi will be running the show, teaching guests to make their very own authentic pizza in just 10 minutes using Birra Moretti beer as the special secret ingredient. The rest of your lunch break can then be spent enjoying your culinary masterpiece and relaxing with a complimentary beer. The idea is to give busy, hard working Londoners a well earned lunch break while sharing the essence of the envious Italian lifestyle, “il dolce far niente” – “the sweetness of doing nothing”.

All of the pop-up gourmet masterclasses are free, and will be available to guests on a first come first serve basis, Caldesi will be hosting 10 masterclasses at each venue.

Saving money with The Taste London Card

Eating out in London can be ridiculously expensive. As I am regularly out seeing shows and concerts in central London it is often necessary for me to buy supper out; normally I’m starving and so want a proper hot meal.

The Taste London Card is the way to go... it gives you 50 % off or 2 for 1 meals at over 2500 restaurants across the capital. This little card has saved me a fortune, and also makes the perfect gift for someone who enjoys dining out. With from popular restaurants like Pizza Express and Prezzo to not so familiar pubs and one-off eateries, there really is a huge amount of choice.

Look out for the occasional restriction though - most restaurants exclude Saturdays, and even Fridays. These are clearly stated on the website; they are not trying to catch you out! A twelve month taste membership will cost you £69.95, and as Timeout have said before me, ‘it is an unbelievable money saving tool.’
