Market Fresh Cookery Course

Market Fresh - Shop & cook all in a day

Browse round a unique set of food stalls or shops, choose seasonal fresh ingredients, to inspire the inner cook in you.

Market Fresh Course - The Day

The day starts with meeting Keith at one of his favourite haunts, either the inspirational Royal Parade in Greenwich (Drings the Butcher, The Cheese Board, The Fishmonger Ltd.) or the World Famous Borough Market in London.

We will go from stall to shop choosing great ingredients & combining them to make a fantastic seasonal fresh meal. Keith will be offering his advice on buying the correct foods and ingredients that go great together.

You will also learn about all the different types of fish, different cuts of meat & the more unusal vegetables on offer.

As a group you will choose the main ingredient, be it fish, meat or vegetables and produce an amazing Market Fresh lunch back at Smashing Pans.

After a trip back to the Cookery School it's time to empty out the shopping bags and start prepping, grilling, roasting & finally eating!

This day will give you confidence in the future to "shop & cook" with a knowing of what works well together.
