The Wine and Food Matching workshop
practically demonstrates how the basic building blocks of cooking match
generic wine styles. Designed in conjunction with the Head Chef and Head
Sommelier at Corrigans Mayfair (Richard Corrigans' restaurant), we will introduce and explain why, certain types of food
complement which wines, and additionally how different cooking methods
may influence your choice of wine.
The Italian and Spanish Wine and Food
Workshops will lead you on a fascinating trip through each country,
pairing regional food and wine to discover how the culinary styles
and local wines have developed to complement one another. At the end of
the day you will have an appreciation of the countries wines, the most
popular varietals and will have been tantalised by their great dishes.

WINE AND FOOD
MATCHING WORKSHOP |
|
|
Matching wines
with foods seems a daunting prospect to many, but it needn't
be. Become an expert in the useful, and very popular art of
matching perfectly what you eat to what you drink.
The business of putting together
foods and wines, like that of choosing clothes, is full of
rules and traps for the unwary which can be so daunting that
one could be forgiven for dismissing them all and eating and
drinking what you like.
Some of the traps are real though - like
sardines and claret taken together taste downright nasty - and some of
the rules, provided they are not taken too seriously, can be quite handy.
You'll learn the
basic principles that govern matching wine with food as well
as the components that make up the taste of both food and wine
so you can apply these principles when entertaining at home or
eating out...

SPANISH WINE AND FOOD WORKSHOP |
|
|
'A Country’s cuisine is its landscape in a cooking pot' said the Catalan writer Josep Pla.
There was never a truer word written about Spain.
We aim to awaken and enliven
your appetite for Spain’s variety, the countless facets of
nature, culture and cuisine. The great range in climate is a
sure sign that this country has more than just one unified
culinary tradition: the cool, damp northwest produces a very
different food from the constantly mild Mediterranean or the
sparse plateau of central Spain, with its hot summers and icy
winters.
Our goal is to unfold the true
wealth of Spanish wine and cuisine through a delightful and
sensual gastronomic tour of the country’s regions and
traditions.

ORIENTAL WINE
AND FOOD WORKSHOP |
|
|
Indian food is now the number one food with the British when they eat out and Chinese comes a close second. Coupled with
the explosion of sushi bars across the UK and with the number of fine dining Thai restaurants ever rising, the question of
whether to order wine or stick to the regional brews such as sake, beer, lassi or fruit juice is increasingly a choice facing
diners.
Our Oriental Wine and Food Matching Workshop will serve a five course menu; Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai and
Indian served with their traditional drink and compare these to different wine styles to see which best complements the style
of food.
You'll learn the basic principles that govern matching wine with food as well as the components that make up the taste of both
food and wine so you can apply these principles when entertaining at home or eating out...
