After a hard week at work is there anything better than knowing that you have a nice, relaxing weekend to look forward to? And what better way to enjoy yourself than by spending time with good friends and eating wonderful fresh and beautifully produced food. But would the idea of throwing a dinner party send you into a stress related frenzy? Does it conjure up disturbing images of pots and pans randomly thrown all over the kitchen while you stand there screaming? After you have been on this experience those images will plague you no longer. The day is tailor-made according to the overall skill level of the group but the aim is to teach you how to use the freshest seasonal ingredients, how to entertain in style and importantly how to make perfect dinner party food that allows you to relax and enjoy your evening. Enjoy the results of your hard work by sitting down to lunch, including a well deserved glass of red or white wine.

It's hard to say what's best about Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons. Is it the glorious Cotswold location, the beautiful gardens, the individually decorated rooms or the exceptional food? Le Manoir is the fulfilment of chef Raymond Blanc's vision to open the perfect hotel and restaurant. Housed in a lovingly restored 15th century manor, it's the perfect place to relax, recharge, and spend some special time together. The menu has been described as 'a twist of imaginative genius' and the cuisine is undoubtedly the focus of every guest's visit. You'll enjoy a five course Menu Classique meal at the two-Michelin-starred restaurant, followed by an overnight stay in a superb Junior Suite. The following morning, after a fine French breakfast, take some time to wander in the beautiful gardens: a magnificent two acre vegetable and herb garden, an English water garden, fed by natural springs, and a tranquil Japanese tea garden. You'll also take home a signed copy of one of Raymond's cookery books.
Indian food has come a long way from the stereotyped outings and flock wallpaper of the 70s. With Chicken Tikka now firmly crowned as the nation's favourite dish, it is clear that this vibrant cuisine has permeated our consciousness permanently. Learn how to use a fabulous fusion of traditional and contemporary cooking techniques at this impressively chic restaurant. After tea and coffee on arrival you'll be given an informative introduction to the history of Indian food by super-chef Sanjay Dwivedi (who has worked internationally and as Chef for a Rolling Stones international tour, as well as appearing on TV's Market Kitchen). In the kitchen, muck in as you learn the ins and outs of preparing a four course Indian meal, from starter through to dessert. Afterwards you'll be treated to a delectable and innovative meal complemented with selected wines and champagne. As a memento take home some menu cards, to help you replicate the memorable gastronomic creations of the day.
