Why choose this South East England tour ?
Meet your host Kit at his home before taking a trip down to Hastings, one of the oldest beach launching fishing fleets in the UK. Meet the local fisherman, get a tour of the boats and purchase fish that you will bring back to cook during your cooking class. On your way back, you will stop at Cooper’s farm, a small farm with Sussex cattle and pigs in the woods. Meet a passionate farmer and learn about how they raise cattle organically.
Back home, you will learn to cook three dishes from scratch. Your menu may include hot smoked salmon with creamed horseradish, pan-fried pigeon breast in sour cherries and juniper served on a crouton, wild garlic pesto on focaccia or pasta, or a vegetable ratatouille. Your meal will conclude with a delicious dessert like apple crumble with custard.
Enjoy learning about the tips and techniques involved in preparing hearty English cuisine before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare with your local host!
