Cooking with Ghillie
Cooking with Ghillie in her atmospheric kitchen with stunning views of the
surrounding hills is an experience in itself. Here you can smell and taste
herbs and spices that you may never have dreamed of using, while you prepare
simple and exotic dishes from around the world. With Anatolian wooden spoons,
Indian and Turkish mortar and pestles, wooden boards and sharp knives, it is
amazing what you can create. The tools may be simple but the food is delicious.
'The most marvellous day cooking and eating - the cooking so well
explained, the Ingredients used almost a history lesson, and everything
so, so good!'

This is truly a workshop, not a demonstration. 'Keep it simple and cook from
the heart' is Ghillie's motto. There are no recipe sheets, just a little guidance,
while you chop, cook and taste under the hands-on expertise of Ghillie. You
may learn to smoke aubergines over a gas flame, or to make a divine Ottoman
pudding using chicken breast, but one thing you can be sure of is that you
will leave feeling as if you have been transported somewhere exciting and different.
To ease the labour, there are interesting cups of coffee or tea, refreshing
nibbles, and plenty of wine! The ambiance is relaxed and casual and, at the
end of all the cooking activity, you can sit down and enjoy the dishes you
have prepared. You can also browse, or buy, Ghillie's books, along with unusual
utensils she has collected from her travels.
Turkish or Moroccan, Italian or Indian, Middle Eastern or Malaysian - there
are so many cultures to choose from. Or perhaps, you would like a workshop
simply on spices, or on heavenly aubergines. The choice is yours, so why dont
you come with a few friends and have a day out that will stay with you for
a long time. Groups, families, and children over 10 are welcome. Enrol as soon
as you can to be inspired and learn something new!
