Julia Child's magnificent 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' has long been an inspiration for Nick.

In this Full Day Cookery Class he chooses some of his favourite recipes which exemplify why French Cookery is so influential.

On the Menu are a classic French Chicken Liver Pate, French Onion Soup, Beef Bourguignon and an Apple Tarte Tatin!

The day begins with Nick demonstrating all the dishes of the day which you will get to taste. Then after a break to enjoy the beautiful sights of Kirkcudbright you return to the kitchens to cook the dishes yourselves at your own pace with Nick on hand to guide and tutor. You will be invited to sit down and enjoy your efforts in our modern and comfortable demonstration room.

There is plenty of food to take away with you so feel free to bring your own containers with you. All recipes are subject to availability of ingredients. All utensils and ingredients are provided. We provide Station House Cookery School aprons for students to use.
