SUMMARY:EVENING COOKERY CLUB - PORTUGUESE FISH & SEAFOOD
DESCRIPTION:Say Portugal and you might think about golf\, surfing\, the Algarve and Ronaldo! But Europe’s most westerly point and oldest nation (dating back to 1139) was a super-power of maritime explorers so no surprise its cuisine relies heavily on seafood such as grilled octopus\, seafood rice and grilled sardines as well as the ubiquitous bacalhau salt cod of which they still get through 25\,000 tonnes annually! Nando’s was inspired by Portuguese cuisine – especially its piri-piri chicken – but our favourite isn’t this\, or their deliciously-sticky-sweet Port with queso\, but will always be the delightful Pastel de nata custard tarts! Book now to try some of these inspired culinary creations from the lesser-known part of the Iberian Peninsular.\nEvent suitable for gluten free. Not suitable for vegetarian or vegan. \nFor home cooks who want to explore something new. Our cookery classes are relaxed\, informative and fun and are specially designed by our teaching chefs to give you skills and confidence in the kitchen. \nSo enjoy an alternative night out preparing a delicious\, seasonal selection of dishes which you can eat during strategic breaks or simply take home to enjoy in front of the T.V.!
