Cookery Classes

Get the confidence and inspiration to create beautiful meals at home and to wow your friends and family with mouth watering dishes. The classes, taking place throughout January and February are specifically designed to appeal to all ages and level of ability - so if you're donning an apron for the first time, don't worry, you're in good hands. And it is hands-on, which means you will be taking home your very own creation.

Each lesson will include knife skills and some core techniques giving you the opportunity to add some more variety to your own repertoire. There are lunch time and evening courses each week. The lesson is for three hours with a maximum of six students to allow plenty of direct tuition. Click here for the itinerary. There will also be a demonstration of a classic with a twist which can be enjoyed together with a complimentary glass of wine at the end of the lesson along with a copy of the recipes used in each lesson so you can re-create the dishes at home. Each lesson is £37.50 per person with a 20% discount for Adult / Child partnerships. Group rates are available on request. I look forward to sharing my passion for food, techniques and skills I have acquired over the past 24 years working as a professional chef.
