点评:I’ve now attended two courses at the Waterside Inn Culinary School — the Steak Course followed by the BBQ Meat Course — and I can honestly say they are the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had!
Yes, the courses are at the premium end of the price range, but they are genuinely worth every penny. I’ve done quite a few cooking courses over the years, and these were worth all of the others combined.
Michael, a Michelin-starred chef in his own right, is an exceptional teacher. He strikes the perfect balance between demonstrations and hands-on cooking, takes the time to answer every question, and creates a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where you learn an incredible amount.
The food is simply outstanding. You eat exceptionally well throughout the day, with course after course of some of the best food you’ll ever have, alongside beautiful canapés and tastings that make the experience feel truly special. On the steak course you eat every type of steak there is, from the cheap cuts all the way up to Chateaubriand (each more delicious than the last). On the BBQ course the standouts were the lemon peri-peri chicken and then a BBQ beef sirloin skewer (both incredible).
What really sets the Waterside Inn apart, though, is the attention to detail. Every member of staff goes out of their way to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. From seeing the Michelin-starred kitchen in action, to cooking with great equipment, exploring the beautiful kitchen garden, and enjoying the incredible hospitality, every aspect is executed to perfection.
If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the investment, my advice is simple: book it. It’s an unforgettable experience which you learn so much from - I’ll certainly be back in the not too distant future!
翻译:我参加了沃特赛德客栈烹饪学校的两门课程——牛排课程和烧烤肉类课程——我可以毫不夸张地说,这是我经历过的最棒的烹饪体验!
没错,这些课程的价格确实不菲,但绝对物超所值。这些年来我上过不少烹饪课,而这两门课的价值远超其他所有课程的总和。
迈克尔本身就是一位米其林星级厨师,同时也是一位杰出的老师。他完美地平衡了演示和实践操作,耐心解答每一个问题,营造出轻松愉快的氛围,让你在学习中收获满满。
这里的食物更是令人惊艳。一整天都能享用到美味佳肴,一道接一道都是你吃过的最棒的菜肴,还有精美的开胃小点和试吃,让整个体验无比特别。牛排套餐里,您可以品尝到各种各样的牛排,从价格亲民的普通牛排到顶级夏多布里昂牛排,应有尽有(而且每一种都比上一种更美味)。烧烤套餐里,柠檬皮里皮里烤鸡和烤牛里脊串尤其令人印象深刻(两者都令人惊艳)。
不过,真正让滨水客栈脱颖而出的是它对细节的极致追求。每一位员工都竭尽全力,确保您拥有难忘的体验。从参观米其林星级厨房的运作,到使用一流的厨具烹饪美食,再到探索美丽的菜园,以及享受热情周到的服务,每一个环节都力求完美。
如果您还在犹豫是否值得预订,我的建议很简单:赶紧预订吧!这将是一次难忘的体验,您能从中受益匪浅——我肯定会在不久的将来再次光临!
