Learn how to produce a menu of warm, autumn-to-winter flavours in this inspiring hands-on evening class with chef and food writer Marcia Barrington. Known for her vibrant and healthy Mediterranean style food with seasonality and sustainability at its heart, Marcia will share the techniques you need to confidently cook a menu which incorporates fish cooking, fruit poaching and making your own harissa, not to mention mastering filo pastry.
From crunchy Feta filo triangles bursting with golden saffron-scented shallots, preserved lemon and goats cheese; to sustainable hake with white beans and fresh harissa; to almond stuffed figs in chocolate and blood oranges with wild honey and olive oil in February. This class will inspire you to cook colourful, tasty Mediterranean style food throughout the cooler months ahead.
