Cook’s Barn Cookery School Christmas Master Class
Last autumn the Cambridge Food & Drink Festival had two really instructive and interesting cookery demonstrations with Chef David Chambers. We watched every move and technique, sniffed the truffles, pricked up our ears at all the insights and tips, licked out the bowls and pans, and then tasted all the finished products. It was memorable. And we took home full copies of all the recipes.
David will be giving a Christmas cookery demonstration on Sunday 6th December at Cook’s Barn (the official home of the Food & Drink Festival). The focus will be on producing a stunning meal, with alternatives given for starters and main course. All to be achieve with less than 3 hours work. and with less stress and effort. I hope you will be interested in this event as it promises to be a whole lot of fun. Just clisk on the link for full information and the ticket selling website.

In our capacity as Distributors of world famous Lacanche Cookers, on Thursday evening 2nd April 2009 we hosted our first Lacanche Range Cooker demonstration. There were some 35 invited guests who watched as Rupert Cotterell, Managing Director of Forneaux de France Ltd, prepared, cooked and served course after delicious course such as stir-fried chicken and prawn Chow Mein, griddled courgettes, crispy salmon chunks fried on the plancher with a soy sauce dip, freshly baked focaccia bread stuffed with different cheeses and herbs, roasted spatchcock chicken, barbequed whole leg of lamb, roasted belly of pork, roasted pork tenderloin, barbequed whole fillet of beef, roast potatoes, dauphinoise potatoes, caramelised carrots, and for pudding Tart Tatin, chocolate bread and butter pudding and a lemon mousse.
Rupert, very ably assisted by Candice Selby-Grace (marketing executive – Forneaux de France), did a remarkable job of putting the wonderful Lacance “Chemin” range cooker through its paces. Hand built in Bordeaux, this is truly a “serious cooker for serious cooks” and performed incredibly well. I am convinced that you could not produce anywhere near that quantity and quality of food on an ordinary domestic cooker in such a short space of time.
The entire evening’s proceedings were sent out to the world via Twitter and Twitpic by our Twitter and IT guru Ian McKendrick who you can check out at:
