I’m off to the UK tomorrow - first time in a long time. I’ve been dispatched off to a Rosemary Shrager Indian Cookery course with a mate - birthday pressie and can’t wait!!
So tell me - what should I look out for - is the water safe to drink? do they take euros? what’s the food like? any vaccinations required? and…places not to miss in and around Royal Tunbridge Wells no less…all contributions gratefully accepted
I’ve been laying out my clothes for around a month, having my hair done later and got a shirt and tie, chinos, blue blazer and panama hat out for the journey and my brand new European Red passport - OTT ???
Lol! I love Indian food Ann - just so difficult to find near us so I can use all the help I can get! I just love cooking and find it totally relaxing and therapeutic even if sometimes I don’t enjoy eating what I’ve made!!! I guess the important thing is that others do
Anyway - love the sari - beats a toga party any day!!
Wow I’m impressed at all the equipment there and how clean it is. Would have liked to see some after photos though because I do know (from previous experience) how creative, but messy, some men can be in the kitchen. Those 3 little words that can make a women’s heart beat faster (in terror)… I’ll cook tonight ! Just kidding Simon. Do hope that you have a great time and that we see get to see some photos. Have fun
Armageddon springs to mind - the beauty of these courses is that they have ‘people who do’ (i.e. clean up after you!). Sadly we’ve had to lay them off at Armstrong Towers as they started revolting…:-
And…of course I’ll share the recipes just as soon as I get back
Rosemary Shrager is teaching Indian Cuisine!!!
There is a great Indian restaurant in London…Indian Zing.
There is a lot to be learnt about cooking just by eating there.
She scares the hell out of me to be honest but…I kind of like that I’m sure we’ll get on superbly well - I adore larger than life people. Thanks for the restaurant recommendation !!
I knew there was something missing in my life … a person who does. If any of your ‘revolting’ people are available then I can offer them a living (barely) wage to come and be revolting here
well have fun and let us know about it.
Cooking classes are hard work…so much washing up…cook for 20 people and times that
by 100.
Cooking for the clients and explaining the dishes to them is a great way of teaching them.
Answering their questions and teaching them where to buy the best, the freshest and the tastiest.
