Amanda'S Cumbrian Kitchen

Food and Cookery chit chat, pondering whether to restart Cookery Classes or Dining Club from home in the south lakes!

Just to give you a bit of my background, I am a CIty & Guilds qualified Cook, I did my training in the UK at agricultural college. Whenever I am back in the UK I make sure to catch up with current trends and techniques, eg I did an advanced artisan bread and patisserie course at the School of Artisan Food in Nottingham (http://www. schoolofartisanfood.org) for seven days last summer. This is my hobby which I am very passionate about. I am not doing this as a business, my aim is to meet people who have similar interests and have a bit of fun along the way .

My kitchen is well equipped and has high end equipment, Kitchen Aid, Thermomix, Sous Vide equipment, two ovens and a gas tandoor and during classes all equipment is provided to the students such as aprons, colour coded chopping boards, good quality knives, pans etc. and a recipe booklets.

The classes are suitable for all levels as even experienced cooks can learn something. I love to go to cookery classes! !
