Cookery and Bakery Classes

Cookery Classes All our cookery classes are practical, and students have the opportunity to prepare their own meals after a short demonstration. Numbers are restricted so that each attendee has access to a cooker and workspace. In all cases, students will provide their own ingredients, and ingredient lists will be circulated by email in advance of the classes. Please provide a valid email address when booking onto the course, so that you can receive this important information. Please let us know if you do not have an email address and we will make alternative arrangements for you to receive the ingredient list. Don’t forget to bring containers each week to take your food home in. You will also need to bring your own tea towel. Saucepans and other equipment will be provided.

Italian Cookery

Italian Cookery Wednesday 7:15-9:15pm; 10 weeks; €130 Tutor: Valentina Ross During this 10 week course you will learn to prepare and cook a range of traditional Italian foods, dishes and desserts. Pasta will obviously feature highly, but it won’t be all about Italy’s best loved staple. You will learn how to make pesto and a range of pasta sauces from scratch. You will also learn how to make tasty pasta from scratch. Using dough that you make in class, you will also make your own pizzas. Other dishes will include Bolognese, Bruschetta, Pasta Bake and Lemon Chicken with Fennel. Those with a sweet tooth can look forward to making Tiramisu, and the course will conclude with the preparation of an Italian Buffet in week 10. The course structure isn’t set in stone, so course participants will have the opportunity to suggest dishes that they would like to learn how to prepare. The course is very much hands-on; the only way to learn. By the end of the 10 weeks you will have mastered a range of skills and cooking techniques, and will be confident in cooking a range of wholesome Italian meals for yourself and your family, and get some great ideas for dinner party dishes. Throughout the course the students will be able to contact the tutor by email or by phone for any queries they might have about recipes, ingredients or kitchen techniques.
