Daytime Practical Course
Special Offer: Bring a "Cooking Buddy" for half price

The food of every region of this vast country is associated with love and passion and oozes with flavour – it’s not the ingredients that make you fat, it’s the amount you eat! On the Taste of France day, you will have more than a soupcon of inspiration bestowed upon you when we tackle a variety of dishes as well as some techniques in producing these dishes. This is la vrai chose for those interested in having just a little taste of what this wonderful country can offer us.

Dishes you may be creating:

Cheese brioche
Red Onion, Fennel and Chilli Tarte Tatin
Mackerel Rillettes
Poulet de Gascon
Tarte au Citron


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 10.15am move 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.
