The aim of this course is to guide you through a range of skills, building up your confidence in the kitchen and to have a folder of delicious recipes that you have practised and are able to prepare with ease.
Every week we will be trying different key ingredients as well as skills that will keep you challenged enabling you to become passionate about foods and products, sourcing them locally and know their origin as well as a little history. You’ll be able to follow recipes, audio and video instructions correctly and have fun in the kitchen.
We designed this course to run over 13 weeks but there are lots of recipes included, so it is quite ok to take your time in creating each recipe, stretching the course to suit your time frame. The most important point is that you do get to make and taste the dishes, as this is the only way to learn.
