Cookery School Review – The Nigel Brown Cookery Academy

After an easy drive from Southwell to Goxhill in
North Lincolnshire, I arrived at The Nigel
Brown Cooking Academy to begin my course entitled
‘Meat, Poultry and Game Galore’. Nigel’s wife
Lisa greeted me as I pulled up in front of their
lovely home, and guided me through to the
kitchen, where I was introduced to Nigel, and
given a welcome drink of warm winter berry
mulled wine and a plate of perfect homemade
florentines. As Nigel and I began to chat, Lisa
made the first of many pots of coffee, so I knew
that I would be in for a great day with lots of
fresh coffee to help me along.
