I'd be a definite maybe. I'm an ex brummie and I hate the place (Brum that is not the curry house) so it's not the first place I would choose to go to.? ?:-[

What concerns me more though is the reply to grimmo:

At the moment, much of my time is being devoted to putting the finishing touches to the book, but I will look into the possibility of such a course once it's finished.? If I do hold a cookery course, I will of course, get in touch and let you know.

It sounds like it would be the author doing the lessons and not the chef. The author is a freelance journalist and I want the lessons from the horses mouth, the chef, and not his co-author. But if I'm wrong then so much the better.

Hi all,

Na na na na na na,

I've already had an invite to go and meet the men concerned, not for a lesson, but to meet them. I will be going this week, hopefully, and I will report back on my findings. I would also be interested in lessons.

here we go then,

Blondie

Nice one!? How did that come about then?

Make sure you find out who will be giving the lessons please as I suspect it might be that Andy chap, though I hope I'm wrong.

Hi Yellow Fingers,

I am fairly sure that Andy is writing the book for the chef from the point of view of someone like ourselves who is a keen amateur striving to achieve restaurant results at home.  He does however admitt that it will not be 100% achieved because of the fierce heat of the restaurant kitchen cookers, but apart from that he assures me that the recipes for base sauce, prepairing of main ingredients and recipes for the finished dishes and restaurant spice mix are genuine.

we live in hope,

Blondie

Did he actually say that cooking on a lower heat will result in a taste that is not equal to the BIR for just that reason?
