Ode to scrumptious, mouth-watering dishes and no flesh in sight! A two day course
designed to arm you with a complete repetoire of vegetarian dishes.
Looking back over the last couple of years, this weekend has atttracted lots of
non-vegetarians: some with vegetarian family members, others with small holdings and
those with a surplus of vegetables all looking for a creative way to cook the humble
vegetable.
It is about cooking really scrumptious, mouth-watering dishes that just happen not
to involve meat or fish. The course will cover a few straightforward vegetarian
recipes (my aim for this course is to introduce you to beetroot, lentils and
aubergines, three ingredients I think vegetarians do not eat enough of). I'm also
thinking of Roast Butternut Squash and Cumin Soup, Spicy Red Pepper Soup with Saffron
Mayonnaise, Seasonal Risotto - but the primary emphasis will be on more exciting
dishes. For instance, I will definitely be demonstrating how - amongst other things
to prepare Imam Bayildi and Mushrooms Armeniennes, Goats Cheese and Thyme Souffle,
Courgette, Basil and Pinenut Tart. There will be a balance between starters and main
courses (I'm not planning to do puddings - but looking back again - I have, because
no meal is complete without a good pudding).
This is the weekend I really strip Clovisee's (Gubbeen) garden bare and I
guarantee that by Sunday night you'll be able to produce at least a dozen really
first class vegetarian dishes with the casual nonchalance of a professional chef.
Vegetarian cuisine is going through an amazing renaissance at the moment and this is
an excellent way to learn all about it
If you are planning to spend the weekend in West Cork and arrive on Friday night,
you won't have to go any further than The Good Things Café to eat. See Fridays @ Good Things Cafe.
