🎄🎄🎄You may think it's too soon to start Christmas shopping - but... 🎄🎄🎄..we have certainly noticed increasing number of conversations and enquiries about Festive get together ideas for work colleagues. For the same price as a meal in a restaurant, we can offer something that is rather more exciting!

In teams you race against the clock (and the other teams!) to produce a delicious meal. There are tasks to suit everyone, from the Gordon Ramsey Wannabes to those who only know their way to the toaster. Competition is fierce as the finished dishes are judged and prizes awarded. Then you sit down to enjoy your meal with a glass of wine and a feeling of satisfaction🤩

We can accommodate smaller groups at our cookery school in Devizes (perfect for small businesses or an office team of a bigger organisation) but can also deliver this to larger numbers at other locations.

We kick start our autumn set of op-up dining experiences with a journey to the West Indies. This dinner is inspired by Chef Peter's culinary 'stage' on the island of Barbados. It's a long story as to how he ended up living with a Bajan family there and filming a series for Granada TV with the late Lyndsey de Paul as presenter. He'll tell all during the evening, plus how he entered the Annual Crop Over Carnival and was practically the only white face in the entire procession. He was also introduced to the national drink of the island, Mount Gay Rum Punch - and had a very good time indeed!

We believe there are still some tickets available for this event tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. Tea, cake and culinary stories - now that sounds like a rather wholesome afternoon, part of Devizes Food and Drink Festival

Rub shoulders with the national press! The Telegraph's Xanthe Clay will be chatting to the Guardian's Felicity Cloake and Good Food's Podcaster Sam Goldsmith on September 24th. Why not join in? Sam has written whole books on foods we all have squirreled - Tinned Tomatoes, and Frozen Peas, while Felicity has cycled across the US in search of real American cuisine. Lots to talk about there - and there will be donuts! To book, https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/devizes-food-and-drink-festival

☀️Happy Autumn Equinox!☀️
The days are getting shorter - and cooler - so it's time to think about enjoyable things to do to in a sociable and fun environment instead of out in the garden. Why not learn to make luxury chocolates which make fabulous gifts for friends and family; improve your knife skills to make preparing food quicker, easier and more relaxing; extend your range of dishes by finding out more about Italian or Moroccan cuisine.

French Cookery Classics class on Saturday, 11th October will be led by Catherine Maxwell.

Catherine trained as a chef, studying French classical cuisine and, after she had qualified, working there as well. Back in the UK, she spent time in charge of the pastry kitchen at Le Gavroche, Michel Roux Jnr's Michelin-starred restaurant in London.

She likes the traditional dishes because of the history and the use of local ingredients.

In words of one of our past students: "Catherine explains everything so clearly. She is calm, reassuring and extremely knowledgeable."
