Enjoy a Gourmet Cooking Class with a Local in the English Countryside of Sussex
Overview
Enjoy a private and authentic countryside tour and cooking class in a local English countryside home with your host Kit. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Your cooking class will take place in a local home kitchen where Kit will teach you 3 English dishes from his family recipes. After cooking, you will enjoy your meal together. Kit is a fun, jovial Englishman and a real foodie who credits his passion for cooking to his mother - a great cook. His fondest childhood memories are of lounging around the dining table as a family, drinking coffee and discussing what the next meal would be. Kit learned his craft from a number of people who served everyone from celebrities to royalty in London. He is passionate about teaching youngsters and educating people about local food while helping local producers and farmers gain access to markets. Kit lives in a medieval farmhouse (the kind people leave London for!) and loves hosting travelers.

What To Expect
This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet your host Kit at his rural farmhouse in Sussex, a pastoral region of England with a wooded skyline. Kit loves to show people around the area where he lives, so start your experience with quick tour of the region he lives in and loves. You'll learn about the history of the area - including how it produced iron ore for the Roman empire helping to fuel the industrial revolution! Next, join Kit at his kitchen and learn to cook a local, gourmet English meal in this Sussex cooking class. Your meal will be created from recipes handed down to Kit from his mother, which he has perfected and added his own modern twist to over the years. Your hands-on cooking class will last about two hours, during which you will learn to cook 3 dishes from scratch that include an appetizer, a main and a dessert. Learn to cook gourmet English cuisine before you sit down at the table with this Englishman to share the meal you helped prepare. Your meal will include three courses which will be served family style. Your gourmet English meal concludes with a desert like apple crumble served with custard.
