This class has been designed for complete novices in the kitchen, as well as those who cook but crave a more solid basis. The class is booked as a two-date class to cover all the skills we consider essential. It puts in place key skills and an understanding of how essential cooking works. We hope no-one feels ashamed to admit this course is for them even if they have cooked for decades – many of us end up in a rut and feel that we lack essential skills to underpin our activities in the kitchen. This double class is informative, friendly, fun and utterly hands on and lead by our experienced team of friendly Cordon Bleu trained chefs.
This late autumn duo runs on November 16th and 23rd. By booking, you pay for both dates.
