Food for thought, as Farm Stay ladies go back to school
May 20, 2011
Among a group of Yorkshire lady members who attended a specially arranged cookery school at Dean Clough Mills in Halifax were Lisa Preston, Pickersgill Manor Farm, Silsden, Di Elphinstone, Crooklands, Clapham, Farm Stay Yorkshire regional director Rosemary Hyslop, Layhead Farm Cottages, Rathmell, Racheal and Catherine Howard, Newton Grange, Bank Newton, and Fiona Clarke, Nethergill Farm, Buckden.
The Cooking School at Dean Clough offers professional development courses for those working in the catering and hospitality industry and chef Mathew Benson-Smith created a tailored course for the Yorkshire Farm Stay ladies.
They made their own bread, granola, kedgeree, fruit smoothies and hollandaise sauce, and were also shown how to make quick supper dishes and desserts.
"It was a fabulous day in the state-of-the-art kitchen in a very historic setting. We learned a great deal and some wonderful new ideas, which many of us plan introduce in our own farm kitchens to enhance the overall experience on behalf of our guests."
