One class down, 20 more to go!

Cooking class number 1....

Andy Davies PRESS

Our cooking class season started with a fantastic bang! We had a brilliant night with Andy Davies and the boys from Press. For those who have never been to, or heard of Press, listen up... 

Press is an inner city restaurant with amazing food and an über cool vibe. 

The Press philosophy is simple - 

We simply want to bring the best products from our patch of the 

earth to the table and have fun doing it.

We look at cooking as a skilled craft not as art. 

We're a bit 'in-house' when it comes to curing, pickling, baking, brining, 

smoking ... And, we've got loads of passion and a good dose of ethics   

This philosophy was reflected in the cooking class and

Andy's food throughout the entire night was absolutely superb. 

Here is an insight to what we experienced at the cooking class. 

Try these recipes for yourself and experience the Press style of food.
