They're also running one-day Preparing for Christmas courses throughout November and December - book early...!
Stephen was previously Chef/Director of the Raymond Blanc Cookery School at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons for six years. During that time he gained acclaim from students and journalists alike as an outstanding teacher with a rare gift for combining entertainment with education.
