Evening Cookery Club - Chinese

Gourmets believe Chinese to be one of the three major world cuisines – and gastronomy has been regarded as a high art in China for well over 2,000 years where food is always judged on its specific temperature and tastes – pungent, sweet, sour, bitter and salty – such that Confucius stated if food wasn’t in perfect balance, man would not eat! The geography and cultural differences of China are so vast, this will be no more than an introduction but we’ll do our best with rice, noodles, soy, garlic, ginger, pork and shrimp. EXPECT RECIPES LIKE: + Mapu tofu + Marinated black ear salad + Kung Pao chicken + Di san xian – sauted potatoes, aubergines and green peppers + Smashed cucumber salad + Gan Bian – Dry fry cauliflower + Scrambled eggs with tomato + Sichuan Pickled Vegetables + Red Chili Oil, Suan Lo Bo/Pickled Radish + Hunan chili Sauce. Suitable for vegetarian and gluten free. Not suitable for vegan. For home cooks who want to explore something new. Our cookery classes are relaxed, informative and fun and are specially designed by our teaching chefs to give you skills and confidence in the kitchen. So enjoy an alternative night out preparing a delicious, seasonal selection of dishes which you can eat during strategic breaks or simply take home to enjoy in front of the T.V.!

Come Wine With Me - Exploring Spain & Portugal

COME WINE WITH ME – EXPLORING SPAIN & PORTUGAL The wines of Spain and Portugal have increasingly grabbed the attention of the wine world in recent years. There is certainly a lot more to Portugal than Port! From the home of port in the Douro Valley, where there are some of the best value reds Europe has to offer, to the intriguing white wines of the cool north-west, and of course, we mustn’t forget Ribetajo, Alentejo and the Algarve where wines are often interesting and complex. For many years the red wine of Rioja has ruled the roost of the Spanish wine scene, but the wines of Ribera del Duero are certainly nipping at its neighbour’s heals with some rich and meaty wines – and let’s not forget the Spanish white wines, such as fragrant Alberiño from Galicia with its peachy soft juiciness. Let the showdown commence! TIMES: 6-8pm COST: £38.50 including fizz on arrival and 6 samples of wine plus some snacks. Places are only confirmed once paid in full and are non-refundable or transferable. DINNER: You may like to continue your evening and enjoy dinner in our restaurant following the event.
