Love a Take Away? They are even more fun when you make them yourself!
Join us for a full day learning how to make some of your favourite take away foods, getting all of the flavour and giving understanding how to keep them healthy.
In this class you will be making a selection of dishes inspired by a trip to your favourite Chinese take away.

Starting by making dough for dim sum buns, you will make one to test as a mid morning snack.

We will then make Chow Mein to be eaten for lunch.
After lunch we will make Sweet and Sour Chicken (or vegetables), which can be take home to share.  We will show you how to make fluffy boiled rice, and you will leave with a small bag of rice to boil at home and serve with your chicken.
After making a few more Dim Sum starters to take home, we will pan fry a piece of fish in a light, Asian inspired sauce.

In our 'Fake Away' sessions we will be looking at ways to make our dishes a little more healthy (but you don't have to tell the children this until they have enjoyed the food).

As with all our school holiday classes, all ingredients, snacks and drinks are provided.  Lunch will be made during the session.

Knife Skills Class

If you want to go the whole hog when it comes to meat, then this is the course for you! Our chefs will teach you meat basics and you’ll learn how to deconstruct, roll, stuff and trim. Add to that a slew of knife skills and you’ll be a demon butcher before you know it!

This hands-on butchery course will show you to break down a whole chicken and use your knife to brilliant effect. As well as chicken, our class will show you how to take the rib rack off of a pork belly then stuff and roll it. Finally you will French trim a rack of lamb. By the end, you’ll be slicing and dicing like you were born to do it.

You'll leave us with new skills as well as all the meat you have prepared on the day.


Butchery Class

With so many benefits attached to knife skills, you’ll want to come along to this workshop for a good overview of techniques to master chicken, fish and vegetable knife skills.

If you’re not satisfied with ready cut pieces of chicken and pre filleted fish, or you want to save time in the kitchen and perfect your julienne, batons, chiffonade, jardiniere etc., then this is the perfect workshop for you.

As standard, you will learn  techniques such as how to hold your knife without causing long term injury and discover why “one knife doesn’t fit all”.

Once your practice time is over you will cook then eat (or take home) your hard work.

Typical recipes may include:

Minestrone Soup
Walnut & Rosemary Crusted Mackerel
Fennel Coleslaw

Please note, recipes may change.

We can’t wait to see you!
