 Welcome

Our intensive 5-day course is aimed at you if you have limited catering
skills, or wish to learn more about chalet-style catering and high
altitude cooking. It will also help you gain confidence so that
you know you are preparing food to a high standard.
You will be provided with menus covering a two-week period - ideal
for cooking in the mountains - and you will be preparing (and eating)
three-course lunches, afternoon tea and three-course gourmet evening
meals with wine - the highlight of the day!
For the competitive price of £315 you will receive:
- Full-board accommodation (inc continental breakfast, lunch, afternoon
tea & 3-course evening meals)
- Expert group and personal tuition from experienced chefs
- Maximum of 20 places on each course
- Support of Overseas Managers to answer all your questions
- Tuition and advice on menu planning, availability of ingredients
in a winter resort & shopping overseas
- Use of a large, well-equipped kitchen
Most of all, you will cover all the basic techniques that are fundamental
to good cooking, preparing food quickly, and adapting to the confined
space in a chalet kitchen.
== It is our policy to offer anyone who completes
the course successfully a position
as a chalet host for the winter 2003/04 chalet programme. Candidates
will have
already passed the interview stage with SHG prior to the course
