RICK STEIN’S COOKERY SCHOOL,<br />
PADSTOW, CORNWALL<br />
If you are a fan of seafood, you should head down<br />
to the delightful town of Padstow in Cornwall to<br />
Rick Stein's Cookery School. Whilst the focus is on<br />
the preparation and cooking of fish, guests can also<br />
participate in classes in Indian, Far Eastern, Italian and<br />
Mexican cuisine.<br />
The cookery school was initially started for the<br />
chefs working at the restaurant to undertake intense<br />
training in the preparation and cooking a fish and<br />
shellfish, but this was eventually offered out to the<br />
public who wanted to develop their skills in preparing<br />
seafood.<br />
From lobster thermidor to Singapore chilli crab,<br />
there are ten different workshops to choose from and<br />
courses start at just £95 for an evening session.<br />
THE NORTHCOTE COOKERY SCHOOL,<br />
BLACKBURN, LANCASHIRE<br />
Step into Northcote’s intimate Cookery School in the<br />
heart of Lancashire and you will soon feel at home.<br />
Whether you are just getting started when it comes to<br />
cooking or are a culinary whizz, a course at the Northcote<br />
Cookery School will provide you with the inspiration and<br />
tips that you need to create new dishes to enjoy at home.<br />
Choose from fundamentals such as preparing<br />
meat and fish dishes, how to create the ideal dinner<br />
party menu as well as more specialist courses such<br />
as advanced cookery techniques. You can even<br />
undertake a course with Northcote’s own acclaimed<br />
Executive Chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen learning to create<br />
three of Lisa’s favourite dishes.<br />
RAYMOND BLANC COOKERY SCHOOL,<br />
GREAT MILTON, OXFORDSHIRE<br />
The Raymond Blanc Cookery School at Belmond<br />
Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons hotel in Oxford runs<br />
a range of cookery courses in kitchens next door to<br />
those of its two-Michelin starred restaurant. Indeed,<br />
the two kitchens are only separated by a series of glass<br />
windows, so you'll feel like a pro no matter what level<br />
of skills you have.<br />
From half-day introductions to dinner party master<br />
classes, there are some great classes to choose from -<br />
many of which focus on recipes and dishes which have<br />
inspired Raymond Blanc himself. à<br />
