Cooking Holiday Kitchen

The superb IKEA kitchen
Our purpose built semi-professional kitchen is fully equipped for some cracking hands-on cookery...
The cooking takes place upstairs in the stunning light and airy kitchen, with its exposed oak roof trusses.
There are two SMEG extra wide electric fan ovens and six stainless steel gas hobs to keep you amused.
It's big, too, and at 10m x 6m is a dream to work in with its well planned layout and and large central hands-on preparation area.
You'll be using up to the minute equipment...
Many of our guests leave here vowing to replace their own aging gear, and you may well also when you finally get to use our really cool gadgets:
-
Professional one piece stainless steel chef's knives
-
Two food processors
-
Three Ice cream machines
-
Six blowtorches
-
Three pasta machines
-
Stacks of shiny stainless steel cooking utensils
-
Pots, pans and stainless steel bowls galore!
Cooking with some great appliances...
Alongside your fellow cooks you'll be searing and flambéing, tossing and swirling, and using:
-
Two semi-pro five burner SMEG gas hobs with extra-wide fan ovens
-
Four mobile four-burner gas hob units
-
Three upright fridge-freezers
-
Two dish washers
-
Three wash up areas
Preparing dishes for lunch and dinner...
Because this is a very hands-on cooking holiday (and because it's more fun) we'll be doing most of the ingredient preparation, cooking and plating up around our:
-
Ergonomic central food preparation island
And, of course, not forgetting your comfort and safety...
-
Espresso coffee machine
-
Fold-out stools
-
Tea, coffee and snacks
-
Room in the fridges to stash any food you buy on the market
-
Moisturising hand wash in wall-mounted dispensers
-
1st Aid kit
-
Fire prevention equipment
