Classes - Enrica Rocca Cooking School

LONDON CLASSES

Our aim is to cut through the marketing of London markets to discover the real produce. We will explore either Borough or Portobello market and unearth the tastiest ingredients sold by the most interesting suppliers. We will talk about the advantages of unpasteurised cheeses, baguettes baked by the hour, the world's best ham, and the importance of properly ageing meats and, once we get home again we will investigate best cooking techniques for what we have bought.

Portobello Market day

The day begins at 9:00am at the now well known Whole Food store in Kensington High Street. After investigating the store, we will visit the fascinating Portobello market, with it’s vegetables, fish and seafood, olive oil and cheese stalls and by identify the freshest and most appropiate ingredients on offer, will create a menu to suit everyone’s taste.
This is a totally spontaneous food shopping experience, with no predetermined menu, to give you the opportunity to sselect mouth-watering ingredients for your dream meal. Once we have gathered our ingredients we head to my private home's kitchen, specially designed for the cooking classes, where we will learn some new cooking skills while creating a great meal.
A wine expert will join the class at 1pm to talk about the best ways to match great food to great wines. and you will be able to choose from an extensive list of wines to accompany your meal. We continue cooking, eating and exchanging tips throughout the day. Classes end between 5pm and 6pm.

MARKET DAYS ARE FUN, SOCIABLE AND INFORMATIVE
