SUMMARY:CHINESE COOKERY
DESCRIPTION:What makes Szechuan/Sichuan cuisine so special?

The geography and cultural differences of Szechuan are so vast\, this will be no more than an introduction but we’ll do our best with rice\, noodles\, soy\, garlic\, ginger\, star anise\, pork and shrimp. \nCome and enjoy a day of cooking before preparing your own communal lunch to enjoy with your new friends. Each student will have their own work station\, equipment and ingredients to work with. \nWHERE: Blackfriars Cookery School \nTIMES: 9.30am to 4.30pm \nCOST: £175 per person which includes refreshments throughout the day\, a communal lunch with wine\, regional beverage and coffee in the Cookery School\, apron and recipes to take home.
