The first lesson in a cook's training is to learn to select, handle and maintain knives. Each knife has a specific purpose for which it is best suited. Learning to use each knife confidently and accurately takes a great deal of practice.

In this class you will learn which knife to use - and how to use it - as you butterfly a leg of lamb and create a charred harissa lamb dish. You’ll also bone and stuff a ballotine of chicken and master the art of creating a porchetta from a pork belly.

You’ll go home with a new set of skills and plenty of prepared joints of meat to share.

Class structure

Your day will comprise of a mixture of hands on cookery and demonstrations performed by the Leiths tutors. Unless otherwise stated, you will be eating the food that you have cooked during your class for lunch, usually with wine or elderflower cordial around a communal table. If your class does not involve cooking lunch you will enjoy delicious sharing platters prepared by the school.
