Ian Convery who runs the Hill Station Cafe is running the first of a series of classes to share some of his secrets. Here’s how he describes it:

Freshly prepared, homemade soup is a wonderful thing. Every country in the
world has its own signature soup from our own lovely pea and ham to the
fantastic stock based soups of Vietnam and China.

Soups from packets or tins are very quick to prepare but are usually full of
chemicals and are salty and in my opinion, usually quite unpleasant.

Fresh soups are very easy to make and don’t cost much. I will be holding an
informal class, showing how to make four different types of soup, a classic
leek and potato, a stock based oriental noodle, an Italian bean and pasta and a
lovely cream of spinach. Each soup requires a different technique and each can
be used to make a huge variety of other soups.

This class is ideal for people who aren’t yet kitchen friendly and need a little
bit of guidance. All the recipes are easy when you know how and will hopefully
provide some useful techniques as well as having a bit of fun and (touch wood)
a nice bowl of soup at the end of it.

If you would like to learn the basics come along on Wednesday 30th January at
7.30pm, all materials will be supplied and you can eat what you have prepared.

6 places are available, please contact me to book a place Ian.convery60@gmail.com
