A concept initiated by Chris Davies at her home in Buckton in the idyllic Welsh Marches on the borders of Herefordshire, Shropshire and Wales, Chrissie’s Kitchen is now the home of ‘Cooking with Taste’ cookery courses.

'Lamb & spinach curry

Simple Italian
Produce your own pasta for lasagne, tagliatelle - and stuff your own ravioli with spinach & cheese! Make pizza dough for your pizza Napoletana and dip into Elizabeth David for Petti di Pollo alla Bolognese (Chicken breasts with ham & cheese). Learn to cook 15 minute light pasta lunches. Multo bene.

Basic Meat & Fish Cookery
Learn to choose the best & freshest cuts of meat and types of (sustainable) fish. A trip to see a local butcher & fishmonger will be followed by cooking the fruits of the morning’s travels. This course is a must for anyone who, for example, doesn’t know what to do with shin of beef or why anyone should buy it or for those who are unsure about fish and shellfish. Impress lots of people, use your local butcher and fishmonger and never feel the need to buy from Tesco again!

Curry Secrets
Discover the essential techniques and spice combinations to produce sensational Indian meals ‘from scratch’. Learn how to succeed with rice and how to make your own chapatis, vegetable bhajis and colourful side dishes. For serious curry lovers wishing to cook their favourite dishes – plus a few they have yet to experience – whether hot or mild, vegetarian or meat, this course is for you! Contact to discuss your preferences.

Delicious Deserts
Make perfect profiteroles, miraculous meringues, lemon and butterscotch and fruit tarts, panacotta with seasonal berries – and more!

Gentlemen in the kitchen
Exclusively for you – a ‘Cook to Impress’ day is a must for those who would love to do just that but lack the confidence to try. Gentlemen, the gauntlet is down. Be prepared to impress by producing – with ease, a fantastic three course meal that will taste as good as it looks.

OR – alternatively some may wish to cover the basics of every day cooking and buying of good food. Please contact to discuss.

Further details will follow – but again, the emphasis is on flexibility, so if your area of choice has yet to be mentioned, just contact to arrange.
