This half day course will give you a great insight and the skills to knock up show stopping Lebanese dishes any day of the week. With sales of middle eastern and especially Lebanese cookery books increasing recently, clearly the UK has a taste for it and since the ingredients allow such versatility, whether you are veggie, vegan, gluten free or dairy free, the range is unbelievable. Lebanese food brings flavour by the bucket load; from the aromatic, sharp perfume of cinnamon, cumin, thyme and roasting meat, to the clear, refreshing notes of leafy green herbs, zesty lemon, and garlic. Or zesty sumac, za’atar and the floral sweetness of desserts laced with golden honey rounding out the flavourful cuisine. It maybe a short course, but there is no doubt you will have a long list of dishes to cook by the end of it!

Mexican Cooking

The basics of Mexican cuisine can be traced back to 7000 BCE, when Mexico and Central America had yet to be colonised. Mexican Cuisine is a nice blend of the indigenous and Spanish cuisine. It is still based in beans, corn, tortillas, and chill peppers, but these are now usually served with some sort of meat and cheese. Most dishes come with some sort of rice and spices as well, a clear nod to the European influence. Join us as we teach you everything you need to know about this creative, flavourful and stunning cuisine. Mexican food offers a vast array of spices, techniques, meats & breads, during the day your tutor will take you through some of the classic dishes as well as the popular “tex mex” style dishes that we all know and love. So whether you want to spice up your life or bring a little heat into the kitchen this is the course for you. Course Overview Duration: 10:00-14:00 Maximum student to tutor ratio: 8-1 Welcome: Meet your tutor and see for yourself the Philleigh Way farmhouse cookery school, garden and of course some dark Mexican coffee!
