~ About Us ~ For 12 years Graham travelled extensively through the USA, Europe and Asia Promoting Cervena©, a New Zealand food icon. He has collected culinary insights, techniques and inspiration form his travels and world wide chef friends. You don't need to be a food professional but you'll be reasonably knowledgeable and adept in the kitchen. More importantly, you'll be passionate and curious about food, wine and cooking and keen to expand your culinary horizons. Because this is a personal experience, participants are limited to 10. The Cookhouse will tailor days to suit different groups and levels of experience. Some are looking for fine tuning their skills, others for new inspiration. Home and farmstay owners, young or professional chefs, corporate team building or dedicated home cooks. Graham will bring in guest chefs or purveyors, or add extra local visits to suit Cookhouse visitor needs. The Cookhouse also does gift certificates for any special occasion.
