Cooking for the culinary challenged
Have you ever despaired of your prowess in the kitchen? Well the Novelli Academy is the answer to your prayers. This one day beginner’s course will teach you the basic culinary skills from risottos to roasts, breads and ballottines and the perfect pastry.
Spring fayre
We shrug off the Winter and look forward to the new seasons with its wide variety of inspiring ingredients – fruits and vegetables, fish and shellfish and choice cuts from the butcher. These are then used to adapt classic recipes and create a number of mouth watering dishes from slow braised honey & cider, caramelised pork belly to spring vegetable broth with aioli.
Give us your bread our daily bread
This fundamental course is designed to inspire you with the joys of home baking. From the basic tin loaf to the sweet and flavoured ones and on to the Germanic rye breads and sour doughs, finishing with the popular Mediterranean style breads.
Something for the ladies
All ladies like to be pampered and this day is no exception. From the perfect slimming conscious lunch with the girls to a supper night in, this easy to prepare recipe collection is superb for parties and special nights in.
Hold the Meat
This course covers a selection of seasonal vegetables available and how best to extract their flavours and use them to your culinary advantage. Recipes include delicious dishes such as baked vegetable gnocchi and tomato and onion tatin to name but a couple. Kindly note that this course is not suited to vegans as it will include the use of dairy products.
