The second in a series of cooking classes over the Academic year. These classes are for chefs who are interested in different food trends who would like to spend time with chefs at their restaurant kitchens and learn authentic recipes (that can be scaled for larger catering).

Overview

Who is this for? 

Chefs, amateur cooks, menu planners / creators and anyone interested in increasing their recipe bank!

Why should I take part?

You will spend time with like minded colleagues from the industry, using authentic recipes under the guidance of chefs who have authentic knowledge of the ingredients and menu items. After cooking your menu, you will consume the food you have created and take away the recipes from the day to take back to your institution.

The Flygerians

The Flygerians

Jess and Jo Edun, AKA The Flygerians, two larger than life sisters who are bringing the sweet taste of Nigeria to the streets of London! They first started cooking from the ages of nine and 10 – when our legendary grandma used to have us cooking up a Nigerian feast for the 5000. She used to host annual barbecues or ‘Mama’s cookouts’ that would bring together neighbours, family, friends and any random stranger that was strolling by and wanted in on the action.

She taught the sisters that food was for everyone and should hold no boundaries. She inspired them to always have a positive vibe and to share the love and bring people together!

FAQs

  • I can’t see a particular course/training, can you run it?

    If you are interested in receiving training that is not already offered by TUCO Academy, pop us an email or give us a call and we will see if we can source it for you. By going through TUCO Academy you will be able to purchase the training at a subsidised rate and if you can offer the training to other members it will reduce the cost further. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Can I request a course or development day be held at my organisation?

    The TUCO Academy has worked hard to offer all training at a subsidised price, agreeing reduced corporate contract rates with hotels etc. - yet still understands the benefits of in-house training. To that end, working alongside the professional trainers, TUCO Academy can arrange for events to be held at your own institution, for no extra cost. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Who can use the training with TUCO Academy?

    All professional development events are available for ANY staff in institutions who are members of TUCO, not just employees in the hospitality, catering and commercial services department.
