Evening Classes

In this class you will wow your guests by learning the art of creating the most amazing canapés for your drinks party. From very ordinary ingredients to the most decadent made simple, there will be something delicious for everyone.

Here’s one for the real enthusiast with very little experience of how to cook for yourself. You will learn how to deal with pastas and risottos, a simple roast with veggies, how to cook wonderful fish with ease, together with some very simple but delicious sauces to accompany a number of combinations, a pudding will also be part of the agenda. You will leave with the confidence of how to throw a dinner party.

Simple as it may sound chicken can be, and probably is, the most delicious of all birds if cooked to perfection and served with an array of wonderful vegetables. Whether the chicken is roasted whole, dissected to be casseroled, pan-fried or poached for a pie, we will create something quite delicious. You will be amazed how versatile you can be.

With winter coming up, we will learn to prepare and create some wonderful warming and hearty dishes to keep the cold out. We will look at a number of various risotto dishes, which are truly simple, a meaty bean casserole to warm the cockles, melting Puy lentils to satisfy any hungry soul, as well as many other delicious ideas.

Delicious and deserves more respect than it is credited for, we will defy the myth of offal. You will gain knowledge on how to trim and cut, delicately blanch and fry, sauté, create wonderful pâté, as well as make yummy sauces.

A simple lemon tart is my favourite; you will discover a light crumbly pastry, filled with delicious lemon, accompanied by raspberry coulis. Decadent chocolate sauce, spiced with pepper and orange to drizzle over chocolate fondants. Madeleines baked and served with a rich vanilla sauce. A flawless white chocolate sauce to smother iced berries. You’ll be amazed how good these are.
