Over the last year, Cracking Good Food has been bringing together experienced cooks with local residents in a series of special cooking classes - and theyâre here to help in the run up to Christmas too. Hosting seasonal sessions in south Manchester, the three-hour classes take place on Saturday mornings from 11am or Tuesday evening from 6pm at Chorlton High School on Nell Lane.
Saturday 6 November: Roaring Roasts
A chance to brush up on those roasting skills before the 25th! On the menu is organic roast chicken with all the trimmings (including the best gravy in the universe) plus a slightly less traditional alternative: North African-style roast lamb with butterbeans and butternut squash. Once the meal is prepared, everyone sits down for a feast at the end (£15; £10 concessions).
Saturday 13 November: Lovely Leftovers
Staff of Hickson & Blackâs help you get your moneyâs worth from Sunday lunch leftovers with plenty of ideas including homemade chicken stock, soup, stir-fry, and bubble and squeak. An ideal session for helping you live through the age of austerity (£15; £10 concessions).
Tuesday 16 November: Cracking Christmas
The edible treats youâll learn to make in this session include rum truffles, chilli jam and cookies in a jar, which you get to take home at the end of the class. (£18; £13 concessions â the slightly higher price includes the cost of the fancy jar!)
