Course description

This 3 day course,is for everyone who loves to cook and entertain, but doesn't always have the hours to prepare.  The course will help you gain more confidence in the kitchen, develop your cooking skills and allow you to create delicious meals in the comfort of your own kitchen for friends and family.

Stress free entertaining is the main focus of this course.  We believe that to achieve a memorable night it must also include a calm, and relaxed cook sitting with their guests and not stuck behind the kitchen door! Along side showing you new ways with meat, fish and vegetables and of course scrumptious puddings we will also cover the following:

• How to plan your menu.
• Ordering quantities.
• How and what to prepare ahead
• Mistakes and how to rectify them!
• Presentation skills, how to turn simple meals into restaurant standard.

Sample Menu

Shallot tarte tatin served with rocket salad and parmesan
Pot roasted guinea fowl with a caramel and citrus sauce served with sweet potato and roast garlic mash, shredded beetroot with black pepper butter and green beans tossed in garlic and toasted almonds
Melting hot chocolate fondants with home made crème fraiche ice cream

The course is intensive, but fun and relaxed at the same time.  Suitable for all ages, all we require is a love of food and cooking!

"I really enjoyed the three day 'Let's Entertain' course.   I've learned a lot and I'm sure I'll feel much more confident when I have my next dinner party.  I'll definitely recommend the course to any friends who might be interested. 
I'd love to come back and do a different course sometime so I'll keep an eye on your website! Many thanks for all the effort you put in to the course." S.Bowers March 2011
