The idea of preparing a whole fish or chicken for a meal can be rather intimidating and as a result, there are many parts that often go unused, leaving some of the best bits to be thrown in the garbage. During this masterclass, the emphasis is on minimal wastage and maximum flavour.
Cookery School prides itself on sustainable learning. While they appreciate that fish, meat and poultry are a part of the dinner table for most households, they ensure that responsible sourcing is first and foremost. The fish and meat used is always seasonal, line-caught or locally farmed. In addition to learning to cook beautiful dishes, the expert chefs will teach you how to judge freshness, and tell the difference between organic and inorganic ingredients.
Whether choosing meat and poultry or fish and shellfish, your 5.5-hour masterclass will take you on a journey from farms and sea right to the dinner table. For meat and poultry, you’ll learn about different cuts of meat, various techniques such as boning and stuffing and which cooking method creates the most succulent meat. You will also learn how to use a chicken four ways so that no part of the bird is wasted. Using the beautiful chicken stock produced during the session, you’ll make a risotto using seasonal vegetables.
For fish and shellfish, you’ll learn where to source the best seafood and how to judge its freshness. You’ll be shown how to prepare it, using the relevant knife skills to help you to correctly fillet and gut a fresh fish, or ready your shellfish for cooking. You’ll then discover a variety of cooking techniques, such as grilling, steaming, poaching, baking and sautéing.
The class starts with either a snack or a breakfast of freshly baked treats, depending on the time of day, and ends with a feast of flavours as you tuck into the dishes you’ve prepared. On completion of your day, you’ll receive an email with a comprehensive description of each technique used, as well as the recipes of your meat or fish feast.
