Would-be chefs can study at a new culinary academy in Cornwall, headed up by twice Michelin-starred Nathan Outlaw. Mr Outlaw, who runs a fine dining restaurant and brasserie in Rock, North Cornwall, is joining forces with Cornwall College's catering department.
Academy Nathan Outlaw was launched at the college's Trevenson Restaurant yesterday, where Mr Outlaw gave a cookery demonstration.
"Food and drink in Cornwall are second to none because we have great restaurants, great produce and a great college," said Mr Outlaw. "This new academy will let young people train at the cutting edge and be ready to succeed in our industry."
The academy sees the catering and hospitality team at Cornwall College joining forces with Mr Outlaw to create a new, enhanced curriculum for catering students who show aptitude and promise.
College principal David Linnell said: "It is an opportunity for budding young chefs, restaurateurs and hospitality personnel the chance to study professional qualifications, with first-class training and tuition from Nathan himself, together with other leading industry experts."
The course is similar in content and ethos to an initiative launched last year in Devon, in which twice-starred Michelin chef Michael Caines paired up with Exeter College's Catering Academy. The Academy Nathan Outlaw catering course begins in September.
