    Oleifera featuring on Channel 4 Cookery School
    ben | Thursday, February 03rd, 2011

    Some months ago we were asked if we could supply some bottles of our fabulous oil for a forthcoming Television programme called Cookery School. The daily cookery competition turns ordinary cooks into great chefs, as Michelin-starred Richard Corrigan and cookery mentor Gizzi Erskine reveal the secrets of the pros. 

    Britain has lost the art of cooking - Cookery School is going to change that. In this daily cookery competition, Richard Corrigan and Gizzi Erskine teach people from basic to advanced levels - the secrets of great cooking. From soufflés to sauces, spatchcocking to spun sugar, every 'cheffy' secret is revealed as, each week, six home-cooks from around the country are pushed to make the perfect dish while battling to win a place in the finals. The pupils have to master three mouth-watering recipes. Those who don't make the grade are sent home.

    Now showing weekdays at 14:05 why not tune in and see if you can spot the Oleifera bottles!
