Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons 20 December 2010
The Raymond Blanc Cookery School is celebrating its 20th anniversary next year with the launch of a vegetarian cookery course inspired by Raymond's passion for seasonality and provenance.
Starting on 15 March, this one-day, non-residential course teaches students how to transform home grown produce into delicious and nutritious meals. Students will pick vegetables from Le Manoir's two-acre kitchen gardens (which produces over 90 types of vegetables and 70 herbs) and create an array of dishes including tomato essence risotto and poached and confit artichoke.
The Raymond Blanc Cookery School is enviably located in the heart of Le Manoir's two-Michelin starred kitchens giving budding chefs a unique opportunity to watch and learn the tricks of the trade from some of the world's culinary experts.
The vegetarian cookery course costs £335 per person and the 2011 dates are:
March: Tuesday 15, Wednesday 16
June: Thursday 30
July: Friday 1
September: Monday 12, Tuesday 13
Students at The Raymond Blanc Cookery School can enhance their Le Manoir experience with an overnight stay in one of Le Manoir's 32 luxurious rooms and suites. Prices start from £480 and this includes Le Manoir's French breakfast.
