Foundation Cookery Course

Five-day cookery course

Love food but need help with cooking - or unsure of your skills ? Want to be the next Gordon Ramsay but don't know your lemongrass from your elbow? We know there are thousands of food lovers out there who are desperate to get cooking for themselves but really don't know where to start to improve basic skills.

Our five-day Foundation course takes you from entry level to competent cook, starting with the basics and moving on to more complex areas. By the end of the course you'll be handling pastry with confidence, baking your own bread, making the perfect omelette, filleting fish and much more. You will learn about ingredients and how to use them as well as each day creating a two or three course meal to eat. For example, Day One may be roast chicken breast with leek and smoked bacon cream sauce followed by pear crumble. By the end of the week you could expect to cook lemon sole with beurre noisette and prawns, finishing with your own sticky toffee pudding and vanilla bean icecream!

The course is suitable for gap-year students aged over 18, for men and women who have little cooking experience, and also for those who have only a few skills and lack the confidence to embark on home entertaining. We also recommend this course for those who would like to embark on our Intermediate one week, or longer courses, or for very mature students who have some skills but may not have cooked much for themselves.

The course is designed to allow plenty of time to practice basic skills more than once to ensure you gain confidence as the week progresses. A course folder with essential theory and recipes wil be yours to take home at the end of the course, along with many helpful hints and problem-solving tips.


This course is suitable for ages 18 and over.
