Calling all foodies!

An exciting course is about to start. Hone your culinary skills and impress your friends.

ESSENTIALS PART ONE

Work with high quality ingredients and tools to make fabulous dishes to take home from each class.
We work on knife skills to give you more confidence with slicing and chopping.
We will learn about emulsions and curing as well as cookery techniques such as sautéing, roasting, braising, steaming and grilling.

As you progress through the cooking sessions, you will learn how to trim and perfectly cook different cuts of lamb; prepare shellfish to transform into different meals and much more.

The recipes are fast, classic and interesting and can be cooked at home for dinner or for that special dinner party.
Part One topics include:
Boning a chicken
Pan-seared beef sirloin
Fillet of tarakihi en papillote
Introduction to classic sauces
