Cook with the Best

Learn from the UK’s top cookery schools to create a perfect at-home menu – with compliments of your American Express® Gold Card

SUNDAY 27 JUNE 2021, 7:30pm

We're excited to invite you to join us for 'Cook with the Best', the latest in our series of Eat Life experiences for Gold Cardmembers. This complimentary event brings together three of Britain's top cookery schools to teach you their favourite dishes. You’ll learn top tips from Ashburton Cookery School in Devon, Cookery School at The Grand in York and Michel Roux Jr’s Sauce Cookery School in London - to create the perfect three-course meal.

Each will show you how to prepare your dishes with pre-recorded films, just like attending a cookery class at a top cookery school. Before joining a live-streamed chat with Michel Roux Jr himself - hosted by Masterchef judge William Sitwell - where you can ask him questions and really get to know the great chef.

Cardmembers will receive an Eat Life menu, shopping list and recipe instructions before the event... and you will simply need to shop for the ingredients in your local supermarket. It's the perfect way to elevate your home cooking, learning many insider tips along the way - and to create a very special evening.
