Alpine Culinary Arts

Esprit and Total Cookery Courses

Just £445

Only £445 - and 50% refunded if you work a full ski season with Esprit or Total!

By far the most intensive alpine cookery course available, and also the best value. Other courses start at £595, and you get none of it back!

We strongly suggest you book early to guarantee your place.

For several years we have been running an all inclusive Cookery Course aimed at encouraging and training potential chalet hosts.

This year, due to interest from outside the ski industry, we are opening our courses to everyone with an interest and desire to learn about cooking, as well as potential chalet staff.

Our courses will offer:

	Training in kitchen management, knife skills and food awareness
	Menu planning, theory modules and guidance in catering for specialist diets
	Timekeeping and time management skills
	Experience in a small domestic chalet kitchen as well as larger commercial kitchens
	Introduction to local speciality dishes, with a cheese and wine appreciation evening
	Christmas unplugged – a step by step guide to Christmas dinner!
	Qualified and specialist chef trainers
	Training in food hygiene awareness
	The unique opportunity to learn and practice cooking at altitude
	A good grounding for a future career in catering

Additional modules will be offered for delegates wishing to pursue a chalet position during the ski season and these will include:

	The skills you need to run your own chalet
	The confidence needed to provide great guest care in your chalet
	A step by step guide to the set menu we offer our guests
	A guaranteed position with Esprit or Total for all course participants who fulfil our criteria

Upon successful completion of your ski season with Esprit or Total we will reimburse 50% of the cost of the course - outstanding value for intensive catering training!
