"All courses are hands-on practical. Otherwise you might as well watch cooking on television."
Simon Smith
Shropshire Hills Lamb with DW Wall and Sons
Learn how to butcher a forequarter, make impressive lamb dishes and save money without compromising on taste.
What's special about this course
Starting with a forequarter of traditional breed lamb, you'll learn how to distinguish the joints – neck, shoulder, leg, shank and ribs. And how to butcher them. You'll learn a series of recipes include the tiny pie that Lord Clive of India took from Shropshire to France - and is still one of South West France's most celebrated dishes:
Roulade of lamb neck with sundried tomatoes and cannelini beans
Sweetbreads in basil and lemon butter.
Lamb Hot Pot.
Les petit pate de Pezenas.
Halfway through the day we'll take a stroll up the lane to see Ed Brassington's traditional breed sheep in the field. The course ends with a three course meal of quartet of lamb cooked (mostly) by you.
What you'll learn:knife skills, butchery, pan-frying, braising, roasting, pastry
