Beginners 4 day class
Albeit a Beginners 4 day class, the recipes were too basic especially the soups. Braising was the most interesting method, but not too suitable for home cooking - much better suited to dining out where there’s a pro kitchen to deal with all the resultant mess including smell. However, recent retirees were in attendance whose motivation was to assist their wives in the kitchen. Much better suited to that client group.

Thank you so much for your review, Elaine. It is interesting to hear your comments. We have been running this course for the past 23 years and it is based on skills that we find that Absolute Beginners (the name of the course), like to learn. The recipes are intended to be basic and confident building so that attendees leave us feeling enabled and able to reproduce, what they learn during classes, at home again. Perhaps it was not the correct course for you to have chosen if you are a more experienced cook. Smells are part and parcel of a kitchen so suggest that an extractor is on when cooking at home. Hope some of what you learnt will be useful to you.
