KENT COOKERY SCHOOL
What would you say is the most exciting thing about learning to cook ?
Cooking is so rewarding and it is easy to track your progress , the more confident you get in your ability the more adventurous your cooking becomes , and the world is literally your oyster . By learning the basic principles of cooking you can apply this to any cuisine or dish you choose . It ’ s exciting to learn about new ingredients , flavour combinations and to be inspired by the seasons .
Let us know a little about the different abilities welcomed at Kent Cookery School .
The school really is for all levels and abilities , we want anyone who has an interest in food to come and cook with us . The majority of classes are suitable for beginners , with a handful being for the more confident cook . Each class has a professional and friendly chef tutor to guide you throughout the class ; unlike most cookery classes , the tutor will demonstrate throughout the session rather than at the beginning , and we weigh up everything before the class and wash up so you spend the whole session just cooking and eating . The more advanced courses like the Advanced Bread course or the Intermediate Kent Cookery course are for those that may have joined us previously or feel they are ready to take their skills to the next level .
What are the different types of classes you offer ?
We offer over 60 different courses from every cuisine you can think of . Our specialist tutors that teach our Taste of India and Authentic Turkish cooking as well as Introduction to Patisserie and our bread courses are all experts in their own fields . The school offers a wide variety of street food courses which are a great way to learn some delicious dishes to shake up your weekly meals as well as being a fun night out . This year we wanted to also add to the course list and add some mid-week courses where you come and learn and then take everything home with you for dinner . From Thai to Mexican you can make a feast and bring it home to share what you have made , these are our ‘ To Go ’ Courses . Another addition to this year ' s class selection is an Introduction to Pizza using our wonderful Gozney pizza ovens , doughnut workshops and a Wellington class being run towards Christmas time . We also offer bespoke private cooking parties for special occasions or group get-togethers !
Have you got any particularly impressive success stories you could tell us about ?
We have so many clients come to the school and then come back as they really catch the bug , that ’ s really the success - that people come back time and time again because they love cooking and our classes !
Why should people learn to cook this September ?
Why not ?! You are never too old to learn something new and never too young to start learning . Cooking can be a great escape and is a chance to be creative !
KENT COOKERY SCHOOL ’ S TOP TIPS :
• Cook to temperature not time , this means if you don ’ t have a digital temperature probe … buy one .
• Always leave your protein to rest .
• Cook with seasonal ingredients , it makes cooking so much easier .
• Pepper isn ’ t a seasoning , it ’ s a spice , when seasoning try salt and lemon to elevate the flavours .
• Season beginning and middle , rarely at the end .
