10.00am – 2.30pm
We are often asked by people, who have either just bought or inherited an Aga, for a hands on Aga Cookery Course. So here it is!
The morning starts at 10am with a demonstration of a few recipes and techniques and a talk about how best to use your Aga. Then we will have a hands on cookery session during which time you cook your lunch using the Aga. Lunch is at 1pm and we will be finished by 2.30pm. This workshop will have a maximum of 4 people attending and is suitable to Aga Novices. We will be using a 4 oven electric Aga and will be covering easy dinner party dishes, baking and stock making.
Dishes covered may include:
Demonstration
Pavlova
Bakewell Tart with Raspberry Compote
Practical
Pea and Mint Soup with Pancetta
Pan Fried Salmon with Salsa Verda
Parmesan, Rosemary and Sundried Tomato Scones
