Get stuck into stuffing as we teach you how to make a three-course Christmas lunch complete with all the trimmings.

Find out all the top tricks and tips to create a show-stopping (but low-stress) veggie, three-course dinner. We’ll cover how to prepare your meals in advance, set all the right timings to serve everything to perfection on the big day, as well as incredible new recipes.

Recipes we are likely to make include:

• Carrot Gravalax with Dill Crème Fraiche
• Hassleback Butternut Squash
• Roasted Garlic Gravy
• Parsnip and Horseradish Croquettes
• Seitan Chipolatas in Blankets
• Salted Chocolate Panna Cotta
• Juniper Sugar Cookies

What to expect…

We welcome students of all abilities, so whatever your current skill level, you’ll fit right in. And you don’t have to be veggie to enjoy our courses – everyone’s welcome! Our cookery experiences will help you hone your cooking skills in a fun and friendly atmosphere. You’ll dive right in with hands-on practical cookery sessions, under the expert guidance of our experienced tutors, who will share their wealth of knowledge with you. Attendee numbers are kept small so you’ll have maximum contact with the tutors – and there will be plenty of opportunities throughout the day to ask any questions you may have.

What else you need to know…

We have lots of free car parking available on site. If you’re getting here by public transport, we are only a short taxi ride or a 20 minute walk from Altrincham bus station/train station/Metrolink (Altrincham line). Here’s our address: Vegetarian Society Cookery School, Parkdale, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, WA14 4QG.

We have Vegetarian Society Cookery School aprons for students to use on the courses – and if you really like them, they are available to purchase at the school.
Throughout the day, there are lots of opportunities to take photos/videos (which are great for sharing on social media), so feel free to get your phones or cameras out and snap away! The only thing we ask is that you check with the other students if they are in any photos you want to put on social media.

If you have any other questions about your course, you can always give us a call on 0161 925 2000 (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday) – we’re happy to help.

And finally: enjoy yourself!
