A summary of Essential Cuisine's Chef Team training day at Ground Up Cookery School. They learned all about foraging, fermentation and reducing waste in menu design from industry leader; Colin Wheeler-James.
Really enjoyed my day learning about fermentation. I will definitely book another course soon.
Fantastic, thank you. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Inspirational, will start looking for elderflowers and other edible plants to use in dishes
Thank you for your review, enjoy your new dishes and hopefully we will see you again soon.
This day really exceeded our expectations. Colin was a great host - knowledgable and entertaining - and we learned so much on the walk, including that many of the plants we had considered as weeds in our gardens were in fact edible! We were then able to put this into practice in the practical cookery session, in which we received just the right amount of guidance to allow us to experiment but not go too far astray. The day then was then rounded off beautifully by enjoying a glass of wine and the fruits of our labours!
All really interesting and stimulating, and highly recommended.
Thank you, we are so glad that you got so much out of it. Keep foraging!
This was a really well run course, Colin was very knowledgeable and took the time to pass on this knowledge to us all walking us through the beautiful local countryside explaining the various do's and don'ts.
It was great to then spend the time turning the ingredients into food and lovely to sit and eat it together with all the other participants of the course.
The school is very well equipped, tastefully decorated and the contents of Colin's 'larder' provide an inspiration as to where your foraging journey might take you!
Thoroughly Recommended!
We are so pleased that you enjoyed it, hopefully we will see you again soon.
Well, what an experience we had and Colin was such a hospitable host along with his knowledge and easy personable welcoming manner all the way through our fabulous alternative day. Also a big thank you to Tasha from booking a big surprise for my hubby Paul on the quiet 🤫 and assistance during the cooking process afternoon, along with your amazing polite son that cleared up after us all 👏🏻😊 Just also would like to thank Colin for the care and attention with his knowledge of Paul's knee condition walking for any assistance if required. Thank you so much and hopefully we will see you again ☺️
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are look forward to seeing you again soon.
