Congratulations! You've finally gained some confidence in the kitchen and can whip up some delicious meals. But why stop there? It's time for you to take your skills to the next level. If you're eager to learn advanced western culinary techniques and get a peek into the inner workings of a restaurant kitchen, then this course is right up your alley. But this isn't just any old cooking course. We're talking about plating skills, garnishing techniques, and flavour combinations that will elevate your dishes to new heights. And if that's not enough, we'll even delve into the world of molecular gastronomy techniques, making cheese, stove smoking, deconstructed desserts, and so much more. Don't worry, we won't leave you hanging. We'll finish off with either a black box challenge or a restaurant simulation to put your newfound skills to the test. Are you ready to take on the culinary world? Let's do this!

It is recommended that you attend Chef in Training Foundations and Intermediate prior to these series of classes. Advanced level is fast paced and demanding but the fruits of your labour are sweet and satisfying. 

This 8 session course covers a range of culinary skills intended to help bridge the gap between the amateur home gourmand and the professional chef.
