COOKERY FOR BEGINNERS  Tutor  Azra Sangster

• Each day of this course will be limited to six people so book up early!
• Priority will be given to those booking all four days.

Saturday 23rd January  9.00 - 4.30pm - Central Eating

There will be an introduction to the course followed by the making of a wholesome soup using vegetables from the garden and this will be shared at lunchtime with the students of the gardening course. In the afternoon we will make a 'bake'. Exact ingredients will be decided nearer the time.

Saturday 20th March  9.00 - 4.30pm  - In a Bit of  a Stew over Cooking

Once again we will lunch with the gardeners making and enjoying a nettle soup - a major source of iron at this time of year. We will also bake a simple bread recipe to accompany it. In the afternoon - as this is England and may still be cold - we will discover how to make a nutritious stew.

Saturday 26th June  9.00 - 4.30pm  -  Time to Chill in the Heat

There'll be some sitting time in the morning while local food expert Nicholas Allen (owner of Star Anise cafe) will introduce the basics of nutrition, which will include some discussion. There will be time also to prepare a lunchtime salad and in the afternoon we will discover how to make a balanced meal using fish and garden vegetables.

Saturday 18th September  9.00 - 4.30pm  -  The Staff of Life

Today we will harvest our own wheat, thresh and mill it and bake bread using our own outside bread oven - so  pray for good weather! This should be a very festive day but do look at our free seasonal festive days, listed below, taking place on Sunday after some of the Saturday workshops.

• This workshop can take more than six students.

Saturday 9^th October 9.00  -  4.30pm   Food Processing   Tutor   Odilia Jarman

This is a day dedicated to processing the fruits of the year’s harvest. Just about any vegetable or soft fruit can be juiced down for the winter and we will use ‘elbow grease’ methods as well as mechanical. This day would be suitable to the gardeners also.
