Description

Cookaway Food Breaks cooking courses are run at Meadow Barn, a beautifully converted medieval "Cruck Barn", at Caldicott Farm, Broad Oak, on the lovely and peaceful Herefordshire / Welsh borders.

Meadow Barn offers comfortable and attractive accommodation, with a very functional cooking and food preparation area. The cooking courses are an interesting mix of handling, cooking, and eating locally produced food at its best, using traditional classic recipes.

Weekend Food Break
This is perfect for those wishing to escape into the countryside on a Friday evening. Arrival is any time after 6pm. Guests can either eat out before they arrive or, after settling in, join a communal table at a local inn at 8pm, (a mini-bus is provided) - please advise if this is of interest to you. Two 3 course lunches and one 4 course candlelit evening meal will be prepared during the cooking course, which ends after Sunday lunch at approximately 3.00pm.

Group Parties
A group of up to 16 friends, room sharing, may join a Break together, and if pre-arranged with Cookaway Food Breaks, as long as 10-12 friends are cooking at any one time, time spent between cooking and exploring the local countryside can be flexible. For example while some of the group cook on the first day, others can explore the area and return for meals. On the second day some of those who cooked might explore, while the explorers of the first day cook.

Members of a group or family who do not wish to join in the cookery course may be interested in participating in local Outdoor Activities organised by www.LifeChangingActivities.com

Skills
Cookaway's tried and tested recipes are a great favourite when guests return home. Every guest will receive a file of recipes and Sarah will clearly illustrate basic techniques. On booking guests can indicate skills, or a dish, they may like to have covered on the course and we will do our best to include them. Sarah's enthusiastic approach towards explaining recipes is designed to put students at ease and gain confidence.

Accommodation
Accommodation is included in the fee. When the bedroom accommodation is full at Meadow Barn, the pretty farm cottage is used and a very comfortable local B&B establishment.
