Alex Rushmer Joins Cambridge Cookery School Team and Launches Supper Club
August 25th, 2010 – Cambridge Cookery School will open the doors to its brand new teaching kitchen on September 10th, when members of the public will be invited to drop in for Prosecco, to celebrate the opening of the stunning new facility. The School is opening the new premises as it enters its third year in operation, and with the support of both local and national brands has been able to build a state of the art facility.
‘We are delighted that our hard work over the past three years has paid off and that we have been able to attract the support of some leading brands,’ said Tine Roche, Head Chef and owner of the Cambridge Cookery School.
‘We now have one of the best equipped and certainly the most stylish cookery school in the country. The environment will really help to inspire people and we have been able to create a really exciting programme of courses to match the fantastic kitchen.’
“Iittala recognised a natural affinity with Tine Roche and her Cambridge Cookery School. The concern with exceptional quality, issues of sustainability, and high ethical principles are a common concern of both brands. These building blocks along with a strong Scandinavian thread, means we are therefore thrilled to be partnering The Cambridge Cookery School, and adding them to the Iittala map in the UK.” Commented a spokesperson for Iittala.
The kitchen will work for both the smaller daytime courses, keeping the intimate feel the cookery school is famous for, and the larger corporate groups. It is all custom-bulit by Cambridge Kitchens and Bathrooms. The large appliances are supplied by Neff, including six ovens, and six hobs, a steam oven and coffee station. Philips has supplied its latest range of Robust small appliances and Kitchen Devils will provide the knives.
The new kitchen is also enabling the school to expand both its programme and its team. This will include the Masterchef finalist Alex Rushmer, and prolific cookery writer Ursula Ferrigno as well as number of high profile guest chefs.
“The new venue enables us to expand our programme for everyone, so we will have many more daytime, evening and weekend courses for every level of cook, as well as a fantastic programme for young people.” Said Tine Roche.
The School will also launch a new concept next month, The Supper Club, a chance for some of the school’s chef’s to showcase their talent and cook a fantastic meal for some lucky diners. Wine experts will be on hand to match wine to each course and the Chef’s will also talk diners through the dishes they prepare, providing tips and hints along side an exquisite meal. The first Supper Club will be run by Alex Rushmer, in October
Other September highlights include the beginning of fantastic Local Flavours series, starting with Some Like it Hot – cooking with local Chillis, with Hilary Cacchio. There will also be a new course for men, entitled Bust your Gut – focusing on men’s health.
