LEARN HOW TO COOK…………. We are passionate about food and always happy to share our skills and knowledge with anyone who asks. So, we are providing you an opportunity to come along to our cookery workshops or demonstrations to enhance your culinary skills and make preparing food fun! We both have many years of experience…. as well as having owned a successful restaurant, Bryan was a lecturer in Professional Cookery and Jo Front of House and Hotel Management.

LEARN HOW TO COOK…………

Cookery workshops/lessons…combines participation and demonstration. We will provide you with a complete menu and recipes to follow. Recipes include discussion on special equipment, ingredients and alternatives to use in case of dietary restrictions. Numbers are limited to 5 persons. Each class ends with the group enjoying the food together.

On arrival we serve coffee/tea or local fruit juice. There will be an opportunity for you to taste Coastalfood products. (Our French dressing has been awarded a gold star in the Great Taste Awards 2008) We always have a basket of seasonal produce from the local Farmers’ Market or some of it grown on the allotments behind our house in Frinton on Sea

Though we are not licensed, please do bring a bottle of wine along to enjoy with food you have cooked. Some of the workshops or demonstrations will include wine suggestions.

Chidrens Cookery Lessons ( limited booking)

We are now holding our popular and fun parent and child cookery lessons/workshops.

The sessions run for 2 ½ hours and the children can learn to cook with their parents under the expert guidance of Bryan and Jo.

The children have learnt how to make fresh pasta, fish cakes, pizzas, fresh fruit salad. Tasted different oils, dressings and ingredients.

Each child has made their own decision about which ingredients they would like to use in their cookery lesson.

Please check our programme or email us if you wish to come along with your own group.

Demonstrations ……opportunity for you to join a small group or bring your own, and watch Bryan demonstrating the preparation and cooking of recipes to tempt your taste buds and giving you ideas for “when company is coming”. You will be given recipes to take home. There will be lots of tasting, so you will not go home hungry!

One to one cookery lessons/classes
By arrangement we can organise your own private one to one cookery lesson. We will first discuss your requirements and then put together a cookery lesson plan. Contact Bryan and Jo for more details

WHY NOT BRING YOUR OWN GROUP? We can plan a custom class to match your specific needs. Friends & family enjoy making a cookery workshop or demonstration part of a birthday, anniversary or other celebrations. Our Cookery Workshop/lessons make a perfect team building experience for a small business.

WHAT DO I BRING?
You do not need to bring anything, though we do suggest comfortable and light clothing as it does get “warm in the kitchen” and we supply aprons and knives for your use.
