Herb Course Dates for 2010


Wednesday 19 May - Pampered Chef evening with a difference

As most of you know I use a lot of pampered chef kitchen equipment - collected from going to other people's parties - of which there has been many. I now need some replacements and thought it was high time I ran my own - but with a difference.

So you are all invited to this event on Wednesday 19th May.

It will be in aid of the Oliver Foundation charity - see www.theoliverfoundation.com  for more details and will include:

v  7:30pm - guided walk/talk around the herb garden - with a glass of wine of course!

v  8pm - demonstration by pampered chef expert

v  8:30pm - demonstration by me - something to do with herbs 

v  9pm nibbles and if you want to order any pampered chef equipment it’s up to you.

 If you would like to come please let me know - you can bring a friend if you want to - I just need to know names and numbers so I can be sure we don't run out of wine and nibbles! As it is a fund raising event we will charge £5 entry which will include drinks and nibbles. Plus 15% of any pampered chef purchases will go to the Oliver foundation.


Friday 14 May (2 Spaces left)  & Friday 18 June (Sorry now full)  - Summer Herbs Cookery Course
Another year another set of ideas for summer entertaining and picnics. Lunch will be outside if weather permits and as always will include a tour around the herb garden with helpful tips on making the most of growing and using your herbs.

Thursday September 30 & Thursday 7 October - Using herbs In Preserves - Half Day Course
Jams, chutneys and many more ideas for preserving the summer into the winter months. Use it or lose it. An entertaining morning with tastings and tips on making sure you make the most of your herbs and how to store them.

Friday 12 November - Christmas Cooking & Entertaining
Some new ideas for the festive season - low stress but maximum impact. Definately no Turkey! A pre Christmas treat for you before the rush starts.

Tuesday 7 December & Wednesday 8 December - Christmas Wreaths & Table Decorations

Our ever popular and fun day provides everything you need to make a beautiful wreath and table decoration using herbs and other materials from the garden (next year you will be able to do it by yourself - but it is not as much fun!).  Over lunch you can admire each other's handiwork. Even those who think they are not creative will go home delighted - nature never lets you down.
