Here at The Alder Cottage we believe that a culinary experience is an opportunity to share a part of who you are in each dish.
Our travels, the people we meet, the guests we serve - all have a strong influence on our menus and classes.
Cookery classes are an opportunity to gain confidence and freedom in a kitchen, dinners are a chance to connect with the person across from you [even if you don’t know them] and foraging excursions are a way to learn more about the land you live in.
Food is there to fuel the body, but it’s important to feed the soul as well.
“Creating genuine experiences for guests is where my passion stems. Getting to express my excitement and knowledge with people from endless countries, backgrounds, and professions I always find myself learning from my guests while they’re the ones taking my courses! Engaging with strangers [aka. soon-to-be friends] to exchange culture and excitement is what it’s all about isn’t it?” - Alexandra
