cookery school

Daytime Practical Course

Don't flounder with your filleting or ponder over your poaching any longer, as this focus on fish will provide you with all the confidence you need to plate up your plaice with pride and wow with your whitebait. This course is ideal for cooks wanting to get to grips with fish dishes and overcome a fear of focusing on fish when creating new dishes for family or friends. You will soon be in the swim with fish once you have picked up tips on how to stuff, poach, fillet and fry your favourite selections and well on the way to pescatarian paradise once your practical hands-on cookery experience has ended. Don't be squeamish about squid, tentative about trout or marooned with your mackerel any longer - just pick up the phone and book your place online.

DURING YOUR DAY:

Our one day courses are designed to be fun hands-on and interactive – whatever your age, experience, or ability.

Arrive at 9.30 and enjoy coffee and a morning snack in the ‘Bubbling Beck’ riverside room…. Meet and chat with those also enjoying a relaxing and informative day at LucyCooks. You will get to meet your chef for the day who will do a short introduction to LucyCooks and let you know the format for your day ahead.

Around 10.00am move upstairs to the fully practical kitchen area – where you will be directed to one of our delightful galley kitchens, each one of which is fully equipped to your specific requirements, with a choice of gas, electric or induction hobs. There are also facilities for those with disabilities and children of varying ages.

Your fully practical course will start with a demonstration by your chef. You will then return to your kitchen, copy what they have shown you and start cooking…..

Lunch is a social affair back in the BubblingBeck… something light and delicious accompanied by a glass of wine.

The Afternoon session is some more watching, learning and doing, with a refreshment break somewhere along the way. By the time you have finished at around 4.00pm, you will have hopefully picked up a few tips and enjoyed a break from your regular routine.

We don’t profess to send you out with a diploma on kitchen management and culinary skills, but you will leave with a variety of new skills and inspiration. You will be able to enjoy the fruits of your labours back in the comfort of your own home and be proud of what you have achieved as you get to take all of your goodies home at the end of the day.
