Jean Torné is returning to London to give another of his masterclasses in wholefood cooking. The week-long Seasonal Kitchen class (weekends and evenings) is scheduled at Concord Institute from Jan 22-28, 2012. Previously Manager and Head Chef of the Concord culinary school, Jean now leaves his Switzerland base just once a year to pass on his ongoing explorations in the realm of food and wholefood cooking in these classes. It’s quite an opportunity, for anyone serious about engaging with their relationship with food, cooking, and their wellbeing. But it’s not all serious, either. The context behind this particular programme is to question the models we inherit around wholefood cooking, and return to a spirit of curiosity, surprise and invitation around food. His intention is that each participant really gets the inescapable connection between cooking, joy (or love) and wellbeing. It will be very practical, insightful. It will incorporate training in cooking techniques, which will be of interest to cooks of all levels of ability. But it will also be a celebration. An acknowledgment of cooking as an expression of love. For nature, food, abundance, nourishment of yourself, and cooking and sharing food with others. Places are limited, so if you would like to register please contact me directly, or give Concord Institute a call on 020 7607 1140. For more details, please visit the Concord website.
