Daytime Practical Course

Pizza is now the most popular food purchased in British restaurants and the second most popular item bought in supermarkets for dinner. This course will teach you how to create the perfect pizza at home. More than that, it also introduces you to different types of pizza to add to your Italian repertoire.

The calzone is a folded pizza perfect which is the perfect little 'hot pocket' for a relaxed weekend dinner and also for wrapping up, freezing, and eating for lunches all week long.

The Stromboli is named after a volcanic island north of Sicily - this bread got its name because whilst baking the cheese bursts out from the bread crust. As you can imagine, the smell of the pesto is lovely when you tear it open!

During your day -

Arrive at 10.00am. Enjoy a hot drink and homemade snack in our welcoming riverside Aga room where you can meet and chat with your fellow cooks.

At around 10.15ammove upstairs to the fully equipped cooking and demonstration area. Each cook will have their own ‘galley’ style kitchen to work from. There are also facilities for those with disabilities and for children of varying ages.

Your 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 Aga room. 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.

The course finishes at around 4.00pm. You will be able to take your creations home with you so you may want to bring some plastic containers on the day. You will also be given a booklet containing all the day’s recipes.
