Food with Flair is a more relaxed holiday course but with a similar format that runs from Monday to Friday and is a course for those who enjoy good food. It is fun! By adding some of the important methods and techniques involved in cooking to the practical knowledge you already have, the course will encourage enthusiasm in the use of your skills in both traditional and innovative recipes. We will teach you time saving tips and advance preparation that can take the strain out of cooking. We will show you how to make the most of the wonderful variety of ingredients that are available today, both from at home and abroad.

Our inspirations come from around the globe, cooking food to suit our lives today - generally light and healthy, colourful and stimulating. We veer away from long complex recipes, towards quicker cooking methods retaining the innate qualities of their ingredients.

There will be dishes which are ideal for relaxed lunches and suppers, including some vegetable based menus. Our evening meals will be examples of how to entertain with confidence and style. We will emphasise the importance of advance preparation, and the vital place of classical and contemporary sauces. Boning meat and poultry, making and using a variety of pastries and making bread are some of the areas that we cover. We will show you how to use fresh herbs and spices to the best advantage.

The relaxing atmosphere and personal approach of The Grange will leave you refreshed and confident whether entertaining, or cooking for family and friends.
