Dudwell School Cookbook

“Caroline Waldegrave was the boss of Leith’s School and Wine for years and is one of the best cooks I know. She now owns and runs The Dudwell School and their cookbook is a triumph. Lovely food, great ideas and clear instructions.” Prue Leith

If you understand the basics of cooking and the reason why you cook ingredients in different ways, it will give you the confidence to tackle any recipe in any cook book.  

The Dudwell School Cookbook includes enough skills and ideas so that you can cook something for any occasion, from a student chilli supper to a grand dinner party. 

You will learn how to make pastry, bread and numerous sauces.  You will be able to joint a chicken, fillet a fish and ice a cake beautifully.  You will cook with spices and unusual ingredients, and be able to make soufflés and macarons.  You will be able to make slow cooked dishes and perfect hamburgers.  But, most importantly, we hope you will learn to really enjoy cooking.

For ease, the cook book is also spiral bound to lie flat when in use.  It also contains a wealth of other tips and tricks, including notes on making sour dough, roasting all different kinds of meat and game, as well as more general information on presentation, gelatine, preparing seafood, sugar work and using yeast.
