Novelli Academy One Day Hands On Cookery Course with Lunch
About this experience
Join an expert chef for a day brimming with fabulous tips and tricks at one of the world’s best cookery schools. At The Novelli Academy, you can choose from a range of courses, including those with a focus on patisserie, seafood and different cultural cuisines. Most of the courses have been designed with guidance from Jean-Christophe Novelli and all the chefs, menus and recipes have been personally approved by him.
The day will include demonstrations, tips and hands-on sessions where you can create delightful dishes under the expert supervision of the Academy chef. As the cookery school is in Jean-Christophe’s own home, he’ll usually pop in to say hello if he’s around.
Your new recipes will be emailed to you so you can recreate the dishes in your own kitchen. A welcome drink and delicious late lunch are also included, perfect for making this a day to remember.

“Great value and most informative”
The day starts with trying to find the academy as the postcode is slightly inaccurate. The academy itself is a perfect building for the course. The instruction was excellent and most dishes were hands on with just a few being demonstrations. We struggled to eat everything we had cooked as the range was large. I learned a lot of techniques and will use several of them after a little more practise. I'll certainly go again.

“A great experience - really enjoyed it”
A great mixture of hands on and demonstration with an excellent teacher in Chef Felice Tocchini
“Beside the Sea”
Enjoyed this course very much. Chef Tocchini was friendly, very informative, answered our questions and had some pleasantly unusual twists on things. Lots of delicious, quality produce was prepared, cooked and happily eaten, some as demonstration and much by our own fair hands. I also appreciated that no particularly unusual gadgets were used so everything learnt can definitely be applied in my 'average' home kitchen. Though it has certainly reminded me its time to invest in a better pan. And Patti was a lovely 'host', also offering her own useful advice. There were seven of us - one couple, and five singles. A great day.
