You will take part in four practical lessons, taken over the course of the day with a break for a delicious lunch in the afternoon, served with wine.

Below are a few examples of the courses you may choose from and a full list of courses are available when booking.
Fish and Shellfish
One of our most popular courses, for those who've never cooked with fish or for seafood enthusiasts alike, this course teaches you the techniques you'll need to create impressive fish dishes. Using the freshest fish available, the head chefs will show you how to choose good fish and how to make the very best of it in the kitchen. You will be using the freshest seafood to recreate Rick’s infamous seafood dishes. Dishes may include - grilled scallops in the shell with toasted hazelnut & coriander butter, mackerel recheado with kachumber salad, and bouillabaisse.
Far Eastern Cookery
Southeast Asian cooking is a glorious assault on the senses and it seems so healthy. This course demonstrates the combinations of hot, sour, salty and sweet, the occasional bitter notes and emphasis on colour and texture. Quite simply, it is food of considerable sophistication, delivered in seconds. Dishes may include – beef rendang, Singapore chilli crab, and crisp fried sea bass with a tomato, chilli and kaffir lime leaf sauce.
Secret France
A celebration of Rick’s exploration of hidden parts of France’s culinary landscape, from Dieppe down to Cassis. With our knowledgeable and amiable chefs, you’ll discover how to cook five of Rick’s favourite dishes from the trip. Dishes may include - poached lobster risotto, chicken fricassée with morels, and seafood gratin with caramelised apples.
