RETURN TO RIVER COTTAGE

20 October 2009

We’ve just taken a small group down to River Cottage in Devon to visit another one of our trainees who has been working there for six months now. 

It was a brilliant! After a night under canvas in the pouring rain, the sun came out when everyone went sea fishing. The trainees were then taught to fillet and cook the fish in the River Cottage kitchen – a very different experience!

CAMPFIRE'S BURNING

Switchback Trainees saw a different side of London this month when they went to cook lunch on a campfire in Epping Forest. Braving thunderstorms and damp sausages, HD and OT did a great job. They built the campfire, prepared vegetable kebabs, corn-on-the-cob and BBQ meat and finished off with roast chocolate bananas. They returned after their day in the urban wilderness soaked through but re-engerised.

Salt Yard regularly offer Switchback trainees invaluable opportunities to build new skills - now their sister restaurant, Dehesa, is raising money for Switchback!

Get yourself down there to sample the "Grilled Squid and Chorizo Salad with Pickled Red Onions, Pea Shoots and Guindilla". They'll make a donation to Switchback for every dish sold!
