 The
Good Things Café Cookery School
Programme 2010
Small classes, fantastic ingredients, personal tuition, a great location and competitive prices – the cookery school that has it all.
What started as a small experiment five years ago, oh now its six years! – the idea of offering a few evening cookery classes – has grown into – well – a proper cookery school. I do all the teaching myself and this year the programme includes morning, day, weekend and week-long courses aimed at both beginners and experienced chefs. A number of factors make this cookery school different:
-
Small classes. For practical courses as few as eight people. For demonstrations no more than 16.
-
Personal tuition. Clearly possible because the class size is so small.
-
The use of only first class ingredients. I am obsessed with using local, seasonal, fresh, organic and free range (well, not free range vegetables obviously) ingredients.
-
Nice people. I don’t know how else to put it. The fact is even after five years, we still seem to attract a very friendly, cheerful class of attendee.
-
Fantastic location. The school is located in my restaurant overlooking the sea in Durrus and has one of the most beautiful views (well, I think so, and still do) in the entire world.
-
Lots of extras. Parties, dinners, wine, tea and coffee . . . each course has lots of little extras built in.
-
Great selection of cookery books to browse and buy and the odd pot, pan and kitchen utensil you might be missing.
-
Still excellent value for money.
Full details of all the options can be found in this brochure and also on my website. If you would like further information, however, or have any additional questions please don’t hesitate to contact me direct.
