Country House Cookery
Escape to the glorious surroundings of Fermyn Woods Hall and enjoy our warm, welcoming and informative cookery days in a beautifully restored Victorian kitchen. They are a very relaxing way to pick up skills and ideas from our brilliant chefs and are also great fun. Whether you are dab hand in the kitchen looking for adventure or a relative novice wishing to learn the art of entertaining in style with a minimum of stress, our hands-on classes and demonstrations with Sophie Braimbridge, Emma Crowhurst and Lucy Young have something for everyone. And this year we have some exciting wine tastings for you with Philip Amps, one of the premier wine merchants in the region.
From a day with celebrity masterchef Emma Crowhurst...
I came home as relaxed as if I'd been pampered at Ragdale – in fact I think the hands on cooking experience is more therapeutic!
That was a fantastic day out and I had such fun...the house is so elegant, the kitchen a dream and Emma was a gem...I learned so much!
I had the most brilliant day in great company and am looking forward to next time
I can't believe how much I learned in a day – nor how much I ate at the feast we had afterwards!
Come and stay overnight too and enjoy our luxurious bed and breakfast
Cookery Days begin at 10.00 am for 10.30 am with welcoming coffee and finish around 4.00pm. Prices are fully inclusive of refreshments throughout the day, lunch with wine, all cooking ingredients and a folder brim full of delicious recipes and Chef's tips.
And we have a really exciting programme lined up for the coming months including the passion of Italian cooking, the sensation of Mediterranean food, a seafood extravaganza, mixed oriental cooking, healthy lifestyles, winter warmers and summer entertaining as well as easy and impressive entertaining. Of special note are Men do Cook days, a great cooking adventure day created for men (and women!) who are looking to learn more about the joy of food. To complete the programme this year we have added a series of wine tastings so we really do have something for everyone!
