Cookery courses
For the accomplished cooks or those who burn pasta there are cooking courses to suit your needs. To learn how to make a multiple-course gourmet meal head for one of the cordon bleu sessions, often held in top restaurants, leaving each night with a pile of foil containers containing the day’s spoils. Many cookery schools make the most of their locations, offering residential cookery courses and focusing on local fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. Cut, dice, chop and whizz your way through cookery coruses that specialise in raw food menus, vegetarian meals and nutritious, healthy eating.
