The Course Format
You may select individual cooking courses as you wish or book the entire package.
A minimum of 4 courses qualifies for a Certificate of Completion.
The cooking courses are hands on unless otherwise indicated. This means participants will perform the food preparation and cooking. You are encouraged to sendalong containers to bring back tasting samples.
The menu plan has been structured so that an entire meal can be prepared on Day One with accompaniments. The chosen desserts are not heavy on baking techniques so that even first-timers can successfully create them.
Each course incorporates a certain amount of cooking theory such as food hygiene, how to buy and cook meats and fish, spice vocabulary, for example. Even seasoned cooks will pick up new information along the way.
Who Should Attend
The course is designed principally to train helpers on cooking. But food enthusiasts are also welcome!
The class size will be limited to a maximum of 10 participants. So do book early!
