Course description

This is a week long practical cookery course (Monday to Friday) aimed at beginners who have a desire to learn how to cook simply, but well.

We start at the beginning, assuming no previous culinary knowledge and guarantee that by the end of the week you will be confidently cooking good food.

On this course these are some of the things we will be covering:

  • Essential knife skills
  • How to make stocks, soups and sauces
  • Home Baking
  • Cooking with different cuts of meat and poultry
  • How to cook fish and sauces to go with fish
  • Quick, easy, but delicious puddings

Each day starts at 10 am and finishes at 4pm.

You will eat everything that you make, so all we ask is that you bring an appetite for food and for learning!

Everything else is provided for you on this course including a folder of all the recipes, hints and tips covered throughout the course held at our kitchens in Perthshire, Scotland.

"I arrived at the course on Monday barely able to do more than boil potatoes and microwave ready meals.
I left on Friday with the ability and confidence to cook wonderful meals from scratch. I can not thank Sarah enough for her guidance and enthusiasm which helped me along this journey." A.Kyle,May 2011
