If you are seeking a short break with a difference and are keen to hone your culinary skills then a trip to Bath is the answer. There are three cookery schools in Bath, one of which focuses on vegetarian cuisine.
Some of Bath's finest hotels such as the Royal Crescent, the Queensberry and the Bath Priory Hotel have teamed up with the Bertinet Kitchen, Bath's purpose-built cookery school. The school offers a range of relaxed but informative classes for every level of skill. There is a serious bread course geared around Richard Bertinet's book of bread "Dough" which won the IACP 2006 cookbook of the year. Richard's Gallic charm and the charming surroundings of a converted mews house right in the centre of the Bath's antique quarter make this a memorable experience.
At the Vegetarian Cookery School you can learn how to cook dishes you have enjoyed at Demuth's Restaurant, or learn how to prepare global vegetarian dishes on themed cookery days, such as "Totally Moorish", "Thai and Vietnamese" or our hugely popular "Fast & Delicious" course. For everyone from beginners through to accomplished home cooks, these courses provide inspiration and ideas that are easily achievable in your own kitchen with the emphasis on simplicity and fun.
The FishWorks Cookery School offers a mix of demonstration and hands on cooking with helpful tips and techniques on how to prepare and cook fish and shellfish. The focus is on the ingredients with recipes that are easy to follow in the home. Tasting is an important part of the day with an opportunity for a sit down meal accompanied by specially selected wines.
