Our seasonal Summer Cookery Demonstration at The Olive Branch - an enlightening and amusing 2 hour demonstration followed by a wonderful 3 course lunch.
The day begins at 10am with coffee, after which our Head Chef Ben Fisher demonstrates this specially chosen seasonal menu. At this months demonstration you'll learn about how to make and cook fresh pasta and create a pasta filling. You will also learn how to recognise good quality fresh white fish, how to prepare the fish and create a herb crust, learn pickling techniques for the fennel, how to cook the fish and getting the seasoning right. Finally you will learn how to use puff pastry, create an elderflower gel and make an apple compot and also how to make a vanilla crème diplomat. Ben and his kitchen team will then prepare and cook the same menu for your lunch along with other guests, which is served around the table in The Barn all with a complimentary glass of wine.
Ben provides a continuous stream of time-saving hints and tips through-out the demonstration. Guests leave with a copy of the demonstration menu, recipes and notes for the featured dishes.
