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.
Casanova called it the 'elixir of love'. French doctors used to prescribe it to women with broken hearts. Scientists say it stimulates the release of endorphins, the 'happy hormones'. Need we say more? This fabulous chocolate workshop begins with an informative talk on the history of chocolate, either by a master chocolatier, who served as the Head Pastry Chef at the Ritz Hotel in both London and Paris, or by an experienced chocolatier. Sample the chocolate fountain before you move onto the creative part of the workshop, making truffle fillings, then dipping your truffles into Belgian chocolate and decorating them with a variety of toppings and coverings. As a delicious memento of your experience you'll take home between 40 and 50 Belgian chocolates each, all wrapped, designed and made by you, to share with friends and family - or to save as a special treat.
You know you like wine, but you're not sure how to tell a good one from a bad. Is it corked? Is it a bad year? Which wine will impress your friends, Chateauneuf du Pape or Asti Spumante? Well, stop worrying. Wine should be a pleasure, not a dinner party anxiety, and with this fun experience you can learn to quaff with confidence while enjoying an educational quiz. Our wine experts have hosted 1,400 tasting shows in 39 countries, so they know their stuff. They can help you differentiate good wines from bad, find fabulous bargains and avoid problem wines. Have fun tasting a variety of reds and whites, learn how to match them with food and work in teams to identify wines in the blind tasting challenge. After your tasting, relax over dinner and then retire for the night (subject to availability you will be housed either in a room in the main house or in accommodation next to it). Wake up to a full English breakfast the following morning to round off your experience.
