Fresh pasta is a delight, and learning to make it is a life skill that stays with you.  During this workshop, we look at all things pasta – from mixing and kneading pasta dough, beetroot infused and standard egg pasta, various rolling techniques, filling, shaping and chef will demonstrate some sauces.  It’s a lovely class, plenty to eat and also to take home!

Sophia Loren once said ‘Everything you see I owe to Spaghetti.’ Whilst we can’t promise you a glittering career in Hollywood after our pasta course, we can promise that you will learn how to make Italy’s staple food by hand and using some traditional kit. Our Chef will show you how to mix, knead, bash, squash and shape the dough into several of the most popular varieties – spaghetti, farfalle and ravioli.

Lockdown has affected us all massively, with 2 school year groups particularly affected with the cancellation of GCSE and A-Levels, resulting in a premature exit of school and a 6 month period to fill before the next level of education commences..   We would like to focus on these age groups, running a structured 3 day course of cookery classes, really focused on being self sufficient in the kitchen.  The class will have a maximum of 8 participants and will run daily for 3 days and will benefit those either leaving home to go off to University, want to cook more at home independently or simply want to understand more about how to create tasty food which is easy to prepare and shop for.

Led by one of our most local and most loved chefs, who has a background in inspiring and teaching teenagers and young adults, this will be a fun filled day covering different skills which will give every student the knowledge and confidence to cater for friends and family.

Dishes on the day will cover easy, nutritious mid-week meals; dishes from different cuisines; batch cooking; with vegetarian / meat / fish alternatives.

In addition to the cooking, we’ll cover how to use leftovers to create tasty lunches, how to freeze things and safely defrost and reheat them, alongside how to shop efficiently and reduce food waste to zero.

Examples of what you’ll learn

• Risotto and Pasta three ways
• Mexican tacos / fajitas with vegetables / fish / meat alternatives
• Omelette with fridge ‘leftovers’
• Different ways with mince – Chilli con carne, nachos and spaghetti
• Indian / Thai curry bases – an essential staple

Examples of Techniques learnt

• How to batch cook for the freezer
• How to alter ingredients according to the season and what’s in your fridge
• Adapting meals to be vegetarian / meat based / fish based
• Basic hygiene and food safety in the kitchen
• Savvy shopping: how, what and when to buy
• How to store different types of food, including freezing, thawing and reheatingThroughout the week we will cook the above dishes and you’ll take home some food, e.g. some of the dishes you have batched cooked, so that you can share with friends and family straight away and begin your culinary journey.

Spices are at the heart of Indian Cookery. They can be earthy, spicy, warming, sweet or floral. They can add colour and flavour on their own, and be combined to create delicious flavours. Some people know exactly how to do this, but if you need a little extra confidence, then this is the class for you.

We are really pleased to be re opening the cookery school, classes will have reduced numbers and you’ll eat as you cook and take away the food you make to enjoy at home – just remember to bring tupperware!
