Cordon Vert’s ‘Best of British’ Fish Free Ocean Pie

 13 February 2013

Eager that people can enjoy a taste of the ocean without the fish, Cordon Vert vegetarian cookery school has created its ‘Best of British’ Fish Free Ocean Pie. You can have all the great taste, without damaging ever-dwindling fish stocks.

Alex Connell, Principal Tutor at Cordon Vert, says “Our Ocean Pie is made using seaweed, smoked tofu and oyster mushrooms and is topped with fluffy mashed potato. The pie mimics the flavour of the sea, without harming our fishy friends.”

Learn how to make Ocean Pie (which featured on the Hairy Bikers’ ‘Best of British’ TV show), by attending Cordon Vert’s Best of British course, where you’ll also be taught how to make other classics including Lancashire hotpot and lemon meringue pie. The next Best of British course takes place on 8 March. For more information on professional and leisure courses visit www.cordonvert.co.uk or call 0161 925 2000.

The Cordon Vert cookery school has an unrivalled reputation for excellent and innovative vegetarian cuisine drawing on a variety of international flavours and ingredients reflecting current trends in world cuisine with fresh and imaginative ideas. You can follow the school on Twitter @cordonvert or Facebook/cordonvertcookeryschool.
