Farmhouse Cookery

Product Information

You may like to consider a series of short online tutorials to help you master all of the AGA cookery methods as well as hone your cookery skills. We will provide a list of ingredients prior to your class and then cook alongside during your e-class. Please ask for a quote. My family would like to follow a vegan or flexitarian diet and I need help adjusting to this lifestyle choice? Delivery is made using 2nd Class Royal Mail, Parcel Force or courier dependant on the parcel size and weight. Please anticipate 2-3 working days during normal circumstances but these times may be extended at busy periods and due to circumstances beyond our control such as peak demand, weather or pandemic. The classes are designed especially to be offered on a ‘one to one’ or ‘one to two’ basis. So the cookery day is ideal for one person to concentrate on their personal repertoire or for friends or family to enjoy a day out together. We have just moved to a new home with an AGA. I am struggling to maintain the heat in the ovens. Can you help? Melt the butter and sauté the onion. Add the pork and sauté again briskly until brown. Stir in flour and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the apricots and wine. Cook for 45min to 1 hour at 180C/350F/Gas 4. Before serving stir in redcurrant jelly and cream and allow to heat through. Serves 6.

It’s great to hear that you have loved your AGA for so long. All of the traditional cookery methods will be second nature to you, but you may like to join us for an advanced class to hone your skills and add new recipes to your repertoire. We’d love to tailor a day that is just right for you. This may include pastry making, rich yeast doughs, sourdough, butchery, fish cookery, vegan cookery, gluten free or lactose intolerant menus or a vegan diet. I’d like to buy this experience as a gift voucher for my wife/husband/partner and we would prefer to stay. Do we both have to attend the course? Put all the ingredients in a huge pot. Allow an hour to heat it all through. Do not boil but make sure all the sugar is melted. Serve in jam jars.Each class is tailored specifically for our cookery guests. We prepare a brief schedule for your approval prior to booking and this can be adapted to suit your personal needs. At All Hallows’ Farmhouse we specialise in traditional AGA cookery but as an experienced private chef, caterer and tutor Lisa is also pleased to offer classes that are aimed at new generation stoves as well as conventional cookery too. Can my friend join us too? Saturday 17 September marks the start of British Food Fortnight – 14 days dedicated to championing the best produce that is grown, reared, brewed, baked, matured, cured and cooked in the UK. Now in its 10th year, this national event will see food tastings taking place in supermarkets, cookery lessons held in schools, all-British menus in pubs and restaurants, and food festivals running up and down the country. Of course, no one knows more about British ingredients, and the best way to cook them, than the farmers and farming families who produce them. With this in mind, we asked readers to dig out recipes for their favourite farmhouse fare – the dishes that never fail to get the kids running for the kitchen table and have the whole family demanding second helpings. The only question is, which one will you be cooking this British Food Fortnight? Dorset tea and freshly ground coffee and homemade biscuits will be available throughout your class.

Recipes are selected to the following methods (or may possibly be adapted to offer seasonal alternatives):Get ahead red wine gravy and an alternative simple gravy using pan juices, parsley sauce and bread sauce and or stuffing. Regrettably this is not possible. All of our classes are offered on a ‘one to one’ or ‘one to two’ basis for family or friends attending together. However you are welcome to come for an individual day on your own. My partner is an experienced AGA cook but I have no experience whatsoever. Can you offer a cookery class to suit us both? Following your 1:1 class, Lisa actively encourages you to keep in touch with any cookery questions. We divulge tips and secrets that have been learnt over the last twenty five years in commercial kitchens as well as working in private clients’ homes.Following your 1:1 class, Lisa encourages you to keep in touch with any cookery questions.
