Cooking Good Cookery Courses and Food Safaris

north Herefordshire/south Shropshire borders, where England meets Wales!
Cookery Courses…… cooking with taste and flavour……
Carolyn is passionate about good, local and seasonal food from small-scale artisan growers and producers and over her years of cooking at Lower Buckton, she has constantly been asked for her recipes, to write a cook book or at least impart some of her cooking secrets, tips and ideas to guests, visitors, friends and neighbours who've shared convivial meals and get-togethers. Whether it's a hands-on practical approach or just sit back and watch, the day courses are planned around a theme to suit the time of year and ingredients available
The courses are inspired by produce available ‘on the day’ creating dishes to be enjoyed in convivial company. A combination of demonstration, hands-on and practical, the courses include visits to Henry’s productive kitchen garden which supplies the house with year-round ingredients which form the basis of the workshops in the sunny farmhouse kitchen – fresh food for fresh ideas…………. by discovering the flavours of Herefordshire and its surrounding area, Carolyn demonstrates her own style of cookery with spontaneous recipes to create sensational tastes, inspiring people to “think and cook local”.
Designed to follow the seasons and using the freshest of local produce available and in the best tradition of Lower Buckton's house-style, the day courses are for up to six people in the sunny country kitchen. Equipped with a four oven AGA, a six burner gas top with gas oven and a conventional electric oven, there is plenty of scope for all styles of cooking.
The Cookery Courses begin with morning coffee and homemade biscuits between 10.00 -10.30 am followed by the morning’s session, a latish lunch of all the delicious things made, local wine, beer, cider, perry or cordials, afternoon tea with homemade cakes, recipes of the day, personalised local food list of your area, foodie treats to take home and a Cooking Good cotton apron. The day normally ends around 3.30 – 4.00 pm. Price £75.00 each DATES for 2010
