With the weather slowly improving (I think) we have some wonderful courses coming up, taking advantage of ingredients we have missed in the winter.

We are really excited about our Seafood Two: Shellfish course, which is coming up on 1st July. Shellfish comes into season in the early summer and our tutor Lap-fai Lee (now in the kitchen at Peel & Stone) will show you how to select the freshest produce and how to transform it into a delicious feast. Shellfish can appear intimidating to cook but as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t get more tasty. Lap’s expertise will guide you through the trickier aspects of shellfish prep like dealing with crab and lobster but you will also learn how to cook simpler dishes with razor clams, how to shuck oysters and perfectly grill squid. You’ll be able to impress your friends and family at home with your new skills. You’ll do a lot of eating on the night too, it isn’t all hard work! Places cost £75 per person and the course runs from 6.30 – 9.30pm. We also run a Fish course if you want to cover the whole Seafood spectrum! Places are available on that course on 17th June and 13th August.
