the place to be for clients who are promising chefs or budding bakers. The Club, which is on deck 17, has 12 cooking stations that can each accommodate two people, and the cooks running the masterclass sessions will include not only the Food Heroes, but also guest chefs such as Pierre Koffman, Paul
Rankin and baking queen (and soggy- bottom hater) Mary Berry. Two- hour sessions, which will include making bread, tapas
