Cookery Masterclass with Polly Tyrer – FUNDRAISER, ONE SPACE LEFT
About this event
Join Polly Tyrer, author of Leith’s Vegetable Bible, in this masterclass which will elevate and expand your cookery repertoire.
This is a special, fundraising event. Polly is donating her time to help us raise funds for our community cookery groups. Thank you all for your support!
Polly is a well-established chef and successful cookery book writer with over 30 years of experience in the food industry, including working closely with Pru Leith before the ‘Bake Off’. Polly is passionate about seasonal dishes and maximising the flavours of her ingredients.
In this masterclass, Polly will share her tips, tricks and favourite recipes to celebrate a chef favourite – bitter flavours – particularly those found in leafy ingredients like chicory, radicchio, rocket and mizuna. These greens can range in flavour from mild to strong, intensely peppery, almost spicy, or slightly sweet. We will taste a range of leaves and learn how to pair and prepare them in ways that elevate and celebrate their flavours, and how to tailor dishes to your personal tastes. You will leave with essential chef’s tips in working with pastry, caramel and in cooking with bitter greens – ready to take your new skills and make delicious food at home.
You will work in pairs to create a special seasonal menu including:
- Chicory and blue cheese tarte tatin
- Make-your-own bitter leaf salad with honey mustard dressing
- Warm new potatoes with citrus and rocket gremolata
