Cooking School at Le Manoir
Introduction and prices
An event at Le Manoir is a unique experience and one unlikely to be forgotten. Raymond Blanc has created a haven where food, comfort and service combined with attention to detail provides an environment that is both warm, friendly and informal. Raymond Blanc’s success at Le Manoir is unique, combining the achievement of two Michelin stars for his cuisine, with top ratings in all the international hotel guides. Le Manoir has achieved the highest awards and accolades of any restaurant and country house hotel in Great Britain and is regarded as one of the very best in Europe.
The cookery days take place in the specially designed cookery school kitchen, using domestic equipment. Guests arrive for coffee and biscuits and are then welcomed by Nurdin Topham, the Cookery School Head Tutor, or by his colleague, Vladimir Niza. Chef’s jackets are handed out to everyone and they are put in to pairs for the day. During the morning, guests both watch demonstrations and cook, usually students will cook their lunch during the morning and in the afternoon cook desserts. The day will end with tea and lemon cake, when all guests receive a certificate.
