Oswaldtwistle Mills

Culinary Master Class with Philippa James - Sat 17th April 2010

Oswaldtwistle Mills is hosting a ‘live cooking experience’ that promises to impress and inspire with Lancashire Life cookery editor, local foodie and recent judge on Channel 4’s The F Word, Philippa James.

For one day only Oswaldtwistle Mills’s Conference Centre is being transformed into a kitchen and will be opening its doors to food fanatics keen to learn new cooking skills, try different foods and get fresh ideas.

Celebrating the best that Lancashire has to offer, Philippa will be performing a step-by-step cookery demonstration using fresh ingredients sourced locally from the Oswaldtwistle Mills food hall.

Philippa will be producing up three delectable dishes including; Lancashire creamy cheese tortilla, scrummy sausage casserole, and rich mushroom stroganoff.

All the ingredients used can be found under Oswaldtwistle Mill’s roof including cheese from The Crumbly Cheese Deli, sausages from Ye Olde Sausage Shop and wine from the Rainhall Drinks Company.

Culinary queen Philippa said: “It’s set to be a fantastic day and a perfect opportunity for passionate foodies to come together and sample three delicious, homemade meals that are a perfect dish for any night of the week.

 “We need to support local produce and buy into ingredients that are available on our doorstep; the three signature dishes I’ll be cooking have been inspired with this in mind and there are always lots of clean plates at the end of the classes!”

There is a choice of two cooking master classes, 10.30am-12.30pm or 2.30pm-4.30pm and both include a hot buffet of the dishes demonstrated, created by Gourmet Catering with a glass of red or white wine and both Philippa and Penny Sagar of Rainhall Drinks Company will be on hand to talk all things food and drink related.

 Attendees will also receive a goody bag with Philippa’s recipes and complimentary Oswaldtwistle Mills discount vouchers to be used in store.
