Cooking for Men Intro:
Whilst TV chefs can be of great entertainment value, so often the basics are skipped over or there is simply not enough time to explain or expand within the finely sliced time shoots. This course is aimed at guys who want to feel a little more confident in the kitchen and be able to put together a complete menu including corresponding wine matching. It is a chance for guys to be in the driving seat to steer this workshop and excel at difference speeds and paces and apply brakes when necessary. We brake simultaneously and via this process share the same experiences, practical problems and often share and resolve common issues.
We also touch on cooking that special meal on February 14th or similar occasion so not only does the cuisine taste good but it looks the part and equally important it is timely and hot when delivered. This is full and intense hands on workshop day covering mid week quick and nutritious foods through to gourmet dinner soiree foods including classic sauce making techniques. Typically we cover 10 dishes on this intensive day!
Cooking for Men Intermediate:
We now offer another level which goes into further advanced food preparation, techniques and recipes.
Both Courses:
Dine and wine in the Handel Restaurant. All cuisine cooked during the afternoon session forms dinner. The soirée normally finishes approximately 20.30.
What happens on the day?
Registration is at 09.00 for the full day option and 13.00 for the afternoon/evening option.
Firstly all recipes are reviewed which is packed with valuable consumer information like selection of oils, equipment, purchasing fresh produce, what to look out for and food labelling. Additional information within the review segment includes techniques, so correct use of knives, professional pans verses domestic, food processors etc. Additionally, how to present, build resilience into cooked foods and which platter to use when hosting a dinner soiree.
A short refresher break and an opportunity to see the school showroom displaying the range of equipment used in the review session.
The bulk of the afternoon is hands on cooking where the class is divided into two cooking all the reviewed recipes. Knife skills and other techniques will be addressed within this session too. The cooked cuisine will form the evening dinner soirée.
