From Garden to Table
One
week cookery course
From Garden to Table is an exciting and inspirational
course which we have designed with our associates at the
Husbandry School, who also grow much of the fresh produce
used in our kitchens.
The Husbandry School is set across 40 acres in a stunning
rural location close to the Cookery School, and each day you
will spend a morning or afternoon with Husbandry School
tutors, Carole and Jonty, learning about planting, growing
and harvesting a wide range of foods (including Heritage
varieties), in a sustainable and ecologically sound way using
traditional methods.
Taking the food from the land and bringing it back to
the Cookery School kitchens to prepare dishes which are
designed to focus on the fresh ingredients and natural
flavours, adds an extra dimension to both the food itself and
your enjoyment of it.
