May 24 2011 By Jade Wright

MASTERCHEF Claire Lara is to host her final masterclass before she opens her new restaurant.

The Wirral chef, who won BBC1 series Masterchef: The Professionals last year, will show budding chefs the tricks of her trade at the Wheatsheaf Inn, Raby, on Sunday evening.

Claire said: "We’ll be cooking a three course meal, including dishes where I received the highest comments during the show.

"I’ll be taking over the kitchen with my own team of chefs for one night only."

Guests will be be served dishes including pan fried mackerel shallot puree and a la Greque vegetables, pan roasted loin of lamb with garlic puree asparagus and white chocolate mousse mille feuille with raspberry elderflower and lemon thyme jelly.

The Wheatsheaf is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year with a series of special events.

Claire added: "I thought it would be great to celebrate the 400 year old pub on the Wirral by cooking there – which will be the last time before we open the doors of La Mouette at the Royal Hilbre Hotel and Spa."

Tickets cost £60. To book, call 0151-336 3416 or email info@wheatsheaf- cowshed.co.uk
