~ Menu planning workshop with Chef Peter Harrison
~ Wine tasting with Cellar27 (matching food with wine)

During the week each student will have the opportunity to practice cooking a full evening meal. For one evening each, the students (in pairs) will cook a three course supper with canapés for their fellow students and chef tutors.
