Sourdough bread has been around for hundreds of years. Widely favoured amongst many due to its ability to digest easier within the body and for its tangy flavour and wholesome appearance.

Whilst the supermarkets have brought sourdough to our shelves, the amount of care and attention needed is sometimes lost in the mass production of sourdough which takes great care and most of all time.

In this easy class for sourdough beginners, we show you:

• How to make a starter from the beginning, how to take care of it and feed and nurture it using a variety of readily available ingredients.
• You will also be shown how to shape the dough to achieve the best looking loaves and simple cutting effects to make those enviable patterns so that your bread has that professional appearance.
• We will also be discussing and using many different types of grain and show you how easy it is to make a super fast version of sourdough for an every day supply of better bread.
• No bread is complete without the best butter to go with it and we will show you how to make this creamy best friend in minutes using the simplest of techniques and ingredients.
• You will take home a starter which has already been alive for a number of years to get you going as soon as you get home, as well as the beginnings to make your own to nurture and share amongst friends, along with a loaf made by our chef and one of your own creations and some dough to get you started straight away.

What’s included:

Lunch will be provided in the way of home made soup and a selection of sourdough breads of course, along with meats and cheeses and glass of fizz or beer on arrival.

You’ll take home a starter, some dough as well as a sourdough loaf made by chef as well as your own.

Sunday Lunch is a traditional eating out experience, spending time with your friends and partners relaxing before the new week starts.  The menu will be modern Bistro style, not a traditional Sunday Roast.

Ditch the conventional restaurant meal and have fun with your partner or friends. Become chefs for the day, chopping, slicing, squeezing and peeling all the ingredients you need to produce a restaurant-style meal of your own creation.

Our Cooking Together events are as much about chatting and relaxing as they are about learning and eating. The lunch is led by Chef sharing his knowledge and love of food, offering a sprinkling of tips and tricks along the way. Lunch is topped off with appetizing ways to present your dishes so you can take Instagram-worthy foodie photos of the fruits of your labour!

Thai cuisine is one of the tastiest foods on the planet – fresh, healthy and potentially mind blowingly spicy! This is the fourth in the series of our 3 hour Thai masterclasses teaching you how to unlock the secrets of creating delicious dishes. You will eat during the evening and take home the extras.

Thai food is all about combining bold flavours to experience sour, sweet, salty, bitter or spicy tastes in a meal. Authentic ingredients are readily available but frequently misused or misunderstood.  If meat is included, it tends to be shredded, fish is served whole with delicate spicing, rice and noodles accompany…the aromas and tastes are exceptional!….You’ll be booking the flights to Bangkok!
