For the first time The Nigel Brown Cookery Academy opened it’s door to pupils from Kirton Middlecott School in Lincolnshire.
The six lucky students were selected from the “Gifted and Talented” group by Head of Food Technology Sally Walsh to attend The Academy run by top chef Nigel Brown. Their day started with a tour round the garden, vegetable patch and greenhouse then straight into the kitchen to get “hands-on” preparing pastillage boxes to be filled later in the day with champagne chocolate truffles. After making some speciality bread with camembert and mediterranean vegetables the students moved on to preparing a lunch of chicken provencale en croute with buttered new potatoes which they all enjoyed in the dining room.
The afternoon was spent assembling and decorating their sugar boxes and creating little chocolate truffles to fill them. A great deal of tasting went on but hopefully a few truffles managed to make it home on the school’s minibus back to Boston.
Nigel said “The children were an absolute pleasure to teach, they were keen and attentive and a credit to their school”.
