Covering challenging and technical skills, this one-week course is aimed at the reasonably confident, regular home cook who wishes to become more adventurous. You will already know your way around the kitchen and have an understanding and experience of the techniques taught on the Key Cooking Skills courses.

Learning with those of a similar skills level you will cook your way through a delicious selection of recipes designed to help you develop a broad range of more challenging techniques. This will enable you to interpret and adapt recipes with confidence.

Your days will be split between a combination of short in-class demonstrations and hands-on practical cooking. All taking place in our bright and spacious kitchens. You will be taught by the same excellent tutors that teach our professional Diploma course, your days will be busy as you explore new recipes and skills with classmates who are at a similar cooking level. The food that you have cooked is eaten for lunch, and often dishes to take home to share with your friends and family. By the end of the week you will be amazed by how much you have achieved, and will have a new repertoire of go-to dishes for cooking every day.
