WKC masterclass explores seasonal British game

Westminster Kingsway College's School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts is to hold a specialist masterclass seminar for those studying or working in the hospitality industry.

The seminar – entitled "Game Recognition and Preparation" – is a master class in the different species of wild game available to chefs in the UK and the various methods of cooking involved.

It is one of the only specific game seminars in the UK and is sponsored by UK Game, one of the UK's leading game dealers. The seminar will take place on Thursday 19th November 2009 at Westminster Kingsway College.

The session is given by college chef lecturer and game expert, Jose L. Souto and brings together examples of all types of game as well as an insight into where game can be found, what they eat and what makes them special for British menus.

Souto said: "People are now eating more game than ever because of the work of organizations like The Countryside Alliance and Game to Eat, who are promoting game as an easily useable and readily available commodity. It is really important to give chefs an insight into this special commodity which is one of our only remaining seasonal foods. When student chefs from Westminster Kingsway College go into the workplace, we would like them to include British seasonal game on their menus."

The cost is £95 per person to include the game seminar from 2.30 pm until 7.00 pm, followed by dinner in the College's Vincent Rooms and a colour copy of a booklet written by Jose Souto on Game Preparation and Identification. There are concessions for educational establishments.

There are a limited number of places so if you are interested then please contact us to book a place. To book a place or for further details about the seminar please contact 020 7802 8820 or email melanie.michael-greer@westking.ac.uk.
