a whole blimmin week! Course details in full

So let's be clear about this, in order to have a nice holiday and a break from the daily grind - you're spending a week on a cookery course. Oh great.

Day 1 : types of fish to choose. Fish gutting for beginners (very brief). Wine tasting (it'll be white, and not much Sancerre)

Day 2 : Cooking fish the rick stein way:get fish, bosh in pan and kerching 27 quid thankyou very muurch.

Day 3 : starters: fish soup, bit of salmon, oyster whizzed up into a sort of soup thingy. More wine tasting. Discussion; "How the hell do we get away with charging customers to do the food prep?"

Day 4 : Restaurant Management: How to choose a plate 93 times bigger than at home so it looks like a load of nosh when it isn't. Filling up the punters with bread so they don't fel too hungry. Laying the table with the massive plates and then taking them away again immediately the customer orders anything for no reason at all. Making sure than little 12v lights illuminate each plate so it looks just right.

Day 5: The Rick Stein Miracle of the Fishes and Loaves : how to share these ingredients amongst considerably MORE than 5,000 people, and charge them £46 quid a head PLUS service and leave the bill open.

Day6: Day 6: Food Balancing and the Rick Stein (a.k.a Macdonalds) School of Piling Up the sodding food in a sort of Big Mac arrangement with the fish on top of the spinachy stuff on top of the sliced potatoes with a sort of butter sauce slapped around to make it look sort of decent even whebn it's fish and chips really, i mean really, except there's no mushy peas and instead of 6 quid it's 46 quid and yeehah St Veran at 30 quid markup. Dinner: make it yer bloody self.

Cost per person: 275 quid. No, we're not joking!
 
Re: a whole blimmin week!

Moi??? Cooking???

No Matt ..... not me. Just Mr B. And it's just a one day course. But you got the price right (almost). He went to Anton Mosimann's course last year and loved it ....... so don't mock

your secret is safe with me!

I'm beginning to understand:

He :
drive boat down to w. country
does cookery course
fixes boat
pays for things

You :
work on suntan,
watch surfers
go to the restaurant in the evening
look nice in new shoes possibly from torquay which has some quite good clothes shops actually

Overall, i think that's very fair.
