After your exciting and informative session, cook for you family and friends to really show off you new skills.
In the company of a fully qualified chef, you will be taken on a tour to the hustle and bustle of fresh food markets.
Here you will be introduced to the stall holders, shown where to find those specialty items, how to identify the freshest products and referred ideas on putting quick and easy, fresh and flavoursome menus together.
There are a wide variety of tours on offer, spanning across a culinary spectrum:
Visit the intriguing Asian quarter and experience heady fragrances of the freshest ingredients Asia has to offer.
Explore the wonders of the Middle Eastern spice and sweet shops and familiarise yourself with this European food wonderland.
Marvel at the array of fish available, making the most of the learning experience and be tantalised by the idea of cooking up a seafood fantasy lunch.
You may opt for a trip to the markets for authentic Italian or Spanish cuisine. Learning to find only the freshest of ingredients, to create traditional and delicious dishes.
No matter which tour you decide to pursue, the new knowledge, flavoursome ideas for great new dishes and a late lunch with a glass of wine, will assure you a fabulous day on this culinary adventure.
