News from the Kitchen

This month has been a demanding one for the kitchen, with cookery demonstrations, cookery classes and students to teach, the Chefs have been kept very busy! Our first cookery demonstration was held at the beginning of this month and we are pleased to say it was very well received. We had great feedback from all involved and the Chefs enjoyed the experience as well. We are definitely planning to run some more in future months.

Our first ever cookery course is now under way with the first classes being held this week. Participants will learn to cook a gourmet three course meal and will hopefully have some new skills by the end of the course. The course kicked off on Monday night with a great first session and we hope it will continue this way as this is a learning experience for the Kitchen Team as well.

Another project for Our Executive Chef David is to spend time with some student chefs who come to the Milton on day release from other establishments one day per week. David is lecturing and assessing the students, helping them to achieve their Level 2 SVQ in Professional Cookery.

With Grampian Chef of the Year competition looming, the rest of the Kitchen Team are trying to find time to plan and create new exciting dishes. Good luck guys and gals!
