THE FLAVOUR

Mega flavours and a next‑level curry sauce

The class focuses on building a rich, indulgent curry sauce to lift the crispy katsu and pairs it with zingy quick pickle and fluffy rice for a complete, takeaway‑beating meal.

THE TECHNIQUE

Master the crispiest katsu — chicken or aubergine

Hands‑on demonstrations teach the frying and breading techniques that give you a reliably crisp coating, with options for either chicken or aubergine so you can tailor the dish to your household.

THE SETUP

Cook from home with live chef guidance

A live, interactive Zoom lesson lets an expert teaching chef demo each stage while you follow along—ask questions in real time and receive a digital recipe pack to recreate the dish again.
