The CAFÉ at BROVEY LAIR
Master Classes with Tina Pemberton
Tina Pemberton, chef/owner of The Café at Brovey Lair in Norfolk learned a lot of her skills in America, Asia and the Pacific Rim with The Good Food Guide describing her fusion style as being seen at its best. Her style of cooking demands fresh and robust herbs and only the best ingredients. She’ll teach you the art of blending and marrying spices, flavours, textures and colours to create a fusion of tastes, cooking fish and seafood to perfection, transforming food into exciting dinner party creations. With one day’s full tuition you’ll return home ready to wow friends and family with dishes they and you never thought possible; while a master class over two days will bring you close to professional status – that is how simple Tina seems to make it. The Good Food Guide has chosen her restaurant as one of its top 100 in 2009 and she is one of only 9 women chefs in the Guide with a grade 6 or more for cooking.
