Pudding Pie, Learn to cook at home

We are always looking at ways to improve our service and get people cooking and eating healthily.

We are soon looking to launch our new delicious Nice with Spice range. So what is it?

We will be offering a blend of spices and herbs all packaged along with a list of ingredients and instructions on how to prepare you own authentic, Thai, Indian, Jamaican, Moroccan meal etc. These kits will supply everything you need with minimal cooking to produce your own delicious meal.

Along with our new Diet Club we are also looking into our own range of ready meals to help you ensure you always have a healthy balanced meal ready to pop in the oven.

We will bring you more information on these services when we can, but if you have any ideas or feedback for us, please feel free to let us know.

We have just added a new Feedback page to the site. We had all our reviews on Bizwiki, until they shut the review side down !! Very helpful … not.

Anyway we have got them all back and put them altogether in an easy to use page, where you can look at all the feedback we have received.

Happy reading !!

Pudding Pie Cookery School, kids, food and fun.

Eggs really are an amazing food. They can thicken sauces just by being cooked. They can bind with oil to make mayonnaise and several other great concoctions. They can take on air and turn into a foamy meringue delight. They can combine with chocolate to make a lovely mousse.

They can be eaten about 4000 or so different ways, in liquid or solid form, or something in between. As a chef I love eggs, as long as I don’t think too much about what they really are or where they really come from.

The question for today is: “Do eggs really need to be refrigerated?”

The answer is “Yes” … and “No”.

Eggs come out of the “chute” with a protective coating, and as long as they are not washed, they don’t need to be refrigerated. After all in most supermarkets or shops they are on the shelf, not in the fridge!

Of course, it also depends on what you want to do with your eggs. For fried or poached eggs, cold is better. The cold eggs hold together better and the yolks don’t break as easily as room temperature eggs.

For all baking purposes, eggs should be at room temperature. This also applies to eggs that are to be used for sauces such as mayonnaise or Caesar salad dressing. For hard boiled eggs, it is better to use unrefrigerated eggs that are more than a few days old. The really fresh eggs don’t release the membrane so easily and they are more troublesome to peel after cooking.

Pudding Pie Cookery School, keeping you informed about food.

We have just had our latest inspection from the Environmental Health Dept and are pleased to announce that we have once again been awarded the Top 5 Star Rating for our kitchen.

We did not expect anything less but it’s always nice to have it confirmed!

Pudding Pie Cookery School, making meals for you.

We promised to keep you all updated on our search for a new premises. We have found the perfect venue, offering ample parking, easy access from the M40 and less than 3 miles from where we are now. The new facility will enable us to cook with up 15 adults or 20 children at a time, it’s not enormous but it does not need to be, we want to keep the homely warm feeling that you would get from you own kitchen. We hope to be able to reduce the price of many of our courses and classes, offer new services such as our Diet Club, Wine Tasting, After School Clubs and full days for our School Holiday Courses.

We are in the final negotiations on the contracts and hope to be able to open the doors in the autumn. We will update you all when we have any more news.
