Cookery School
Through his cookery school, James is able to offer you an opportunity to acquire some of the skills which are fundamental to producing imaginative and wholesome food, using fresh local ingredients and produce – and to introduce the principles and practice of selecting wine to complement the food. His cookery school is held at the Restaurant; in the kitchen and private dining room.
The school offers a programme of up to five modules, each of 5-6 hours duration held on Mondays from 09:30 and concluding mid afternoon on consecutive weeks. This is a ‘hands on’ programme covering theory and practice and involving both individual and group tuition over four days. Each module concludes with tuition in the theory and practice of matching wines to food and wine tasting with the food prepared on the day.
The School class is capped at just six participants.
On completion of the four modules you will have the knowledge and confidence to prepare and serve a range of imaginative three course dinners which are sure to delight guests at your dinner table.
