COMING IN 2016 ........
We are delighted to finally realise a dream which has been bubbling for over 5 years ... To start our own cookery school in our beloved town of Frome. We are incredibly excited and over the next few months we will put together a program of classes for you to consider. Lessons can be booked on a one off basis, or as a term. Lessons will include hands on cooking, growing, ta
sting and eating together, with lots of goodies to take home. We are husband and wife team, Dave and Faye Penfold. Frome dwellers and Frome's biggest champions who believe passionately in seasonal produce, good quality food, interesting flavour combinations and most importantly ethical farming practices. We believe that good food shouldn't cost the earth and travel hundreds, or even thousands, of miles to arrive on your plate. We aim, where ever possible, to use home grown, locally sourced produce. After all, there is enough of it available in lovely Somerset. When our recipes require world food not grown in this country we try to source this as sustainably as possible, although we have been known to try and grown the odd dragon fruit in our greenhouse. Dave Penfold, a creative and engaging teacher, worked in primary education for over 10 years before he decided it was time to pursue his life long passion of food. Since 2010 we, Dave and Faye, have been running The Old Bakery Supperclub in Frome and more recently we have opened The Refectory Cafe, at The Old Church School. After a stint on Masterchef and a summer catering weddings and festivals, we knuckled down and started planning this, we hope you'll join us along the way. Much love
Faye and Dave
