2 back to school time to share some of our secrets Courses will be conducted in a relaxed & light-hearted way and all participants will be provided with printed recipes and will taste all the dishes that have been cooked. The Poachers Inn Cookery School will be launched in November 2014 and all of us at Poachers are hugely excited about sharing with home-cooks of all levels many of our cooking experiences garnered over many years. Our classes will all be in demonstration style in our recently developed Cookery classroom situated above our multi-award winning Seafood Restaurant. At each class all students will be given a full cookery demonstration, a copy of the recipes demonstrated and, very importantly, an opportunity at the end of the class to taste the food that has just been cooked.
