The Nottingham School of Cookery is located in the village of Plumtree, which lies to the South West of Nottingham, just off the A606 (Melton Road), 3 miles from the Nottingham ring road.
The spacious accomodation has a large lecture room with individual purpose built kitchen workstations and demonstration kitchen. There are relaxation areas, and ample parking. The aim has been to create an informal, friendly and comfortable environment.
At The Nottingham School of Cookery we are proud of our excellent local producers and we have no hesitation in supporting them. We know where all foods supplied to the school are grown, how the animals are reared and treated. What breeds are preferable and that animals are reared at a natural pace allowing them to slow mature, that they are hormone and antibiotic free.
The courses are designed to make maximum use of the excellent fresh local produce of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and our surrounding counties. We will be using local ingredients direct from the farms and producers. Food that has a known history and origin. Food that is good for you, your budget and the environment. Food with provenance.
The School provides multiple activites, all designed to impart an enthusiasm for fine living.
The principle chefs are:
Claire Tuttey who founded The Manor School of Fine Cuisine in 1987. Claire will be running an extensive range of her very popular cookery day courses from this new location.
