French and Cooking Class Combined with a Meal (brunch, lunch, dinner)

Want to improve your plant-based cooking skills? 
Join a class and learn some key tips and techniques to be able to introduce more and more plants in your diet without compromising on taste!

After a welcome drink and an introduction about plant-based key ingredients and tools, we will cook together a meal (brunch, lunch or dinner) inspired by my Mediterranean origins. 
We will use our 5 senses and explore the 5 flavours (sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami) to create a seasonal plant-based feast for the eyes and the mouth. 
Most of the ingredients we use are organic and locally sourced (when available in the UK).

Example of a lunch menu:
- Root vegetables dip served with home-made crackers
- Quinoa, almond, miso and mushrooms risotto
- Raw key lime mousse with pomegranate

Example of a brunch menu:
- Seasonal rainbow salad  with raw and roasted vegetables, nuts and seeds  served with the best citrus vinaigrette
- Sweet potato and spinach waffles with tofu dip and hummus
- Cashew nut cream cheese or coconut Boursin  
- Seasonal fruit cake (Autumn: Moist Apple cake)

Example of a dinner menu:
- Roasted beetroots, pistachio cream and berry dressing
- Endives tarte tatin

When everything is ready, we will set the table together,sit down and enjoy what we have prepared together.

Cook and Speak is a French and cooking school that aims to inspire people to cook and share food with a positive impact on themselves, people and planet. 

Having lived and worked in several European countries, Cécile appreciates the importance of cooking and sharing a meal as a great way to create strong bonds.

As we cook, as we eat, our eyes light up, our senses are awakened and most importantly, tongues are loosened.

With Cook and Speak, the goal  is to put the pleasure of taste, conviviality and responsibility at the centre of our meals with a festival of the senses.
