Lou Hutton is one of the ingredients that makes Food of Course a very special place to spend a month discovering the joys of cooking.
Renowned chef Louise Hutton is founder of Food of Course Cookery School in Somerset which she runs with husband Roger from their 16th century thatched farmhouse with full-equipped teaching kitchen.
The school runs residential courses for all levels including the internationally-recognised four-week Foundation Course and a one-week Elements of Cooking Course, which is designed specifically for those with little experience in the kitchen. Her residentials are a  favourite with gap year students looking to work in chalets, yachts or simply wanting a life skill for when they embark on university life and beyond.
Louise has been cooking and teaching for more than 25 years and was principal at the renowned The Grange cook school, in Somerset. She then went on to set up her own catering business after freelancing all over the world, including France, New Zealand and Australia. However, her real passion is teaching, and her success has been founded on her vibrant energy and ability to impart a wealth of experience and knowledge.
The month-long foundation course teaches everything from chopping to baking, sautéing, steaming to Italian, Indian and presentation of food. Students pluck home-grown veg from the garden, select fish from local Wells market then to the school to gut, fillet and cook it for lunch.
