Mountain Chef-Training Course

Based in The Old Granary on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, Mountain Chefs specialise in providing Chalet Chef Gourmet cookery courses. Consisting of six fully equipped, open-plan kitchens, students have use of their own oven, sink, workspace and equipment.

The course is very much hands-on and designed to cater for people of all abilities, from the complete novice to the more experienced cook. Mountain Chefs instructors are fully experienced in Alpine cooking in addition to having professional UK head chef experience. Their style is approachable, professional and fun – always getting the best out of each student, allowing them to develop at their own pace.

A Typical Day on this Course

Each course day replicates a day in the life of a Chalet Chef - allowing you to understand the operational process of running a chalet kitchen during the ski season.

Our Head Chef has worked many successful ski seasons and will pass on to you all of his experience, menus and short cuts thereby allowing you more time on the slopes. In addition to cookery training, you will receive chalet operations training and Level 2 Kitchen Health and Safety accreditation.

Who are we looking for?

Our Mountain Chef Course is perfect for those who already have a good level of cooking competence but want to develop the specific skills and speed to work a ski season as a Chalet Host, Chalet Cook or Chalet Assistant. This cookery course will teach you how to prepare, present and serve gourmet cuisine preparation allowing you to run a successful chalet.
