Course Itinerary

On the Pressure Cooks cookery course we aim to give you basic skills and techniques that you can build on.
We’ll work towards a daily dinner so you can taste the results of your work and build a repertoire of dishes - we teach theory and equipment skills as we go. Each day we’ll explore different store cupboard items, new vegetable dishes and how to develop a “rolling menu” so nothing is left to waste.

Course times: 9.30am - 5.30pm. Participants must be 18 or over.
