I’m self taught as well, my mum was not a good cook bless her, but I have done a couple of day courses. You pick up the most unexpected things, like shaking the food processor half way through making the pasta and adding a drop of sherry vinegar at the end of cooking your mushroom soup to enhance the flavour. Also did a sourdough one day course which was invaluable.

Marco P-W is such a charismatic character. His cooking seems pretty old school in the series but it’s just so watchable

I did a cooking lesson with Marco on board a P&O cruise, that was quite an experience! I wrote an article about it but it got spiked, I think because of the pandemic. I might publish it on my Substack if I can find it. I've had quite a few cookery school lessons over the years and I do enjoy them and usually learn something but one thing I just can't bear is having to share a station with another pupil. I just need my own space.
