Even though I say so myself this was my best course this
year! (I said the same last year!) - I am writing this in November 2008, having
just finished this class and we had a great weekend. 15 students, all lovely,
chatty and a great interest in food, cooking and eating. Having such a variety
of dishes from different countries is always a good starting point for good story
telling. Combining classical recipes from other countries with such great local
ingredients is a recipe for success. A fantastic opportunity to add a bit
of international flavour to your cooking whilst going no further than West Cork.
In the course of two days you will master well over a dozen dishes from all over
the world including: Roasted fish with honey and Lemon from Egypt; Beef from the
Rhone valley; Roast pork cooked in the Danish manner; Flatbread and Daal; Andalusian
Monkfish; Mushroom Caviar from Russia: Georgian Lamb with Plums and Walnuts; Vincisgrassi
which comes from Italy; . Finally some desserts such as Roast figs and plums in
vodka with cardamon cream. Is this enough? If you have anything special
you'd like me to add let me know. Also I will do Friulian apple, walnut and poppy
seed tart, . Phew, and something so simple with pears. I will also include a roast
chicken stuffed with about 30 cloves of garlic, 40 strands of saffron and a little
cumin, what a weekend, just my kind of cooking.
