Saturday 9th September Mediterranean
The perfect time to host this class, when the garden is still producing tomatoes, aubergines, beans and all manner of delicious things to cook.There will be lots of ‘live to be one hundred recipes’ from the south where a plant based diet is widely believed to be the reason that so many live to an old age.
Saturday 16th September Recipes from Greece
The food in Greece is simple and seasonal. This class will be about creative ways with aubergine, peppers and tomatoes, delicious vegetable mezze and the secrets of making filo pies.
Saturday 21st October Spanish
This very edible class will include tapas for sharing, the perfect tortilla, and paella or suquet. I’m not sure quite what else yet as we’re about to go walkabout through Spain and hope pick up some new recipes so the menu has yet to be decided. This class will include some fish.
