One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is the knowledge of how to cook. I am not talking about necessarily becoming the worlds top chef, although
why not?, I mean having an understanding of food, knowing
what to do with it and being able to create something out of
nothing at the drop of a hat. Throughout life we will all need
this skill at some time!
Tante Marie is owned by Gordon Ramsay Holdings, Lyndy
Redding (of London’s leading catering and events company
Absolute Taste) and Andrew Maxwell, Managing Director
and Principal of the school. The school has been operating
for over 50 years offering courses from 1 day to 1 year and
the support system for the courses, as you would expect, is
outstanding and part of the reason why they were awarded
the BAC (the British Accreditation Council for Independent
Further and Higher Education).
Food For Knowledge
Words: Lynn Nicholson
This is more, much more, than a simple cookery class this
is the starting point for all kinds of personal destinations,
which is why people enrol from around the world, but be
warned, this is a very serious business, if you want to earn
your professional certifi cates you are going to have to work
for it. Let’s be honest, if Gordon Ramsay is involved in this,
you know it is going to be tough, but you are also going to
have credibility and a fantastic sense of achievement once
you have completed the course.
When you look at the courses you start to understand the
diversity of the school, there are professional courses for
those looking to make a career as a chef, gap year courses,
ranging from between 1 and 11 weeks, which to my mind
has to be one of the best ways to spend your time, once you
have completed a course you can then travel and always
make a living in some form by being able to cook, ask
anyone who has worked at ski resorts.
The lifestyle courses are great for anyone to attend either for
specifi c styles of cooking, getting started or slowly building
up your skills within your own kitchen.
You can also look at journalism, photography, private
catering, PR in fact, if it is related to food Tante Marie can
help you, speak with them, let them know your ideas and see
how they can help, they have the contacts, the knowledge
and the ability to be able to assist you.
