1 week Food Camp 2017

The 1 week Food Camp costs £595, or you may want to consider the 2 week Food Camp for the special price of £895.

If you are on a summer break from school, heading off to university or at the start of a fun filled year out, this course offers the perfect starting point for learning a broad range of basic cookery skills to ensure you can survive on something a little more interesting than baked beans on toast. Facing the prospect of fending for yourself for the foreseeable future can be daunting. Our 1 week Food Camp will give you the skills and confidence to whip up a quick, healthy and nutritious meal to help keep those brain cells ticking over.

You will leave with a wide ranging repertoire of versatile dishes and essential cooking skills including:

• Classic roasts with all the trimmings - master the arts of organisation, multi-tasking and time management at the same time
• Fragrant curry and international cuisines
• Delicious soups and homemade bread
• Pastry
• Baking, including tempting cookies, puddings and muffins
• How to use gelatine properly - a fairly advanced skill required for success in many a recipe
• Knife skills and kitchen organisation, with plenty of vegetable preparation and butchering meat

Ski Chalet training

Many people chose this course as preparation for a ski season as the course provides the ideal preparation for an entry level chalet. We recommend that as a basic minimum those with 'seasonaire' aspirations complete weeks 1 and 2.

Those wishing to go on to a chalet hosting role are supported through the recruitment process by Tante Marie and our extensive network of chalet operators. In addition to this, an optional module is offered to those wishing to complete a ski season which covers service and etiquette, delivered by the expert Hospitality Management teachers from the multi-award winning Restaurant at Tante Marie.

Who is this course for?

At this time of year, the course is ideally suited for school leavers and those heading off to university or on Gap Years. The minimum age is 16 years old. For those who are under 16, have a look at our Kids Courses.
