"The Advanced Cookery Course at Walnut Grove
manages to combine just the right mix of all facets for a cook who is
looking to progress their own knowledge of food preparation. Maynard
and Benedict provide spot on tutelage and demand you think more about
what you doing around the kitchen and why. I have gained another level
of confidence and knowledge thanks to working with the guys and look
forward to progressing further."

"I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed
your advanced course, the people I met and the way the days were structured.
I acquired so many new skills at the school, I am still working to become
proficient in them and to incorporate them into my daily cooking routine.
I came believing I was the best cook amongst my friends in Sydney and
left realizing that I had initially known nothing at all!"

With our advanced course itinerary,
even if you have been on our first course or other cookery
courses, this cooking holiday will take you to the next
level.
From keen cooks to semi-professionals we have designed
this culinary program to make cooking dinner parties and
other special events easy and enjoyable. Based around
a working restaurant kitchen, our new cooking course will
teach you everything from pre-preparation techniques to
last minute cooking timings to ensure that you have the
skills and confidence to create new dishes and menus on
your own.
Why the Walnut Grove Advanced Cookery
Course?
Each day you will be be using fresh quality
ingredients and transforming them, from scratch, into
gastronomic delights, furthering your techniques and understanding
at the same time. With all the help you need from the
chefs, you will be taught to:
-
Write mis-en-place lists (things
to do)
-
Constantly be aware of every
aspect of the meal
-
Pre-preparation timings
-
Tasting and approving every
dish for seasoning
-
Organizing the last minute cooking
of each course
-
Plating up/presentation
After learning these new skills, dinner parties in your
own kitchen will be a breeze!
Every day we will have comprehensive menu discussions
which will teach you how to create your own dishes, taking
into account an understanding of balancing flavors, textures,
portion sizes and richness. By the end of the course not
only will you be able to create your own new dishes, but
write your own menus which you will be able to competently
cook at home.
