Read's Cookery School school is perfect for those who are passionate about cooking, and enjoy joining in with some culinary fun with a Michelin-starred chef. The class provides an inside look at the highly original Mediterranean cuisine of acclaimed chef Marc Fosh and offers an opportunity for “hands on” cooking and an informative tutorial. His emphasis is on bringing out the true taste of a food, the precision of preparation, and, most importantly, having a complete respect for the food itself.
The course focuses on Spanish and Mediterranean influences, and includes innovative dishes ranging from sea bass with wild garlic and almond sauce to caramelized pineapple and ginger lasagna with a coconut sorbet and a white pepper-toffee sauce. Students are encouraged to be as subtle or adventurous as they like, and rather than insisting that recipes should be followed 100%, Marc deliberately encourages creativity, suggesting only that cooks should adhere to a comparable composition of flavors.
Their courses also include wine and olive oil tastings, plus regional cheeses and Spanish hams. We never forget that you are here also to have a good time, so we make sure a relaxed atmosphere is always present throughout, whether in or out of the kitchen.
