Course overview

HIDE restaurant's executive chef Ollie Dabbous teaches you how to make some of the favourite appetisers from the menu at HIDE, including charcuterie and bread.

"The appetisers we serve at the start of the meal encapsulate our approach to cooking. They offer a bold minimalism, a sophistication through simplicity." – Ollie Dabbous (co-founder and executive chef at HIDE)

By the end of this course, you will have created some home-cured charcuterie, freshly baked bread, a warm comforting broth with crystal clear flavour, and some crisp ice-cold lettuce served with a moreish dip. Ollie will guide you through wine pairings to enhance and maximise the flavour of each dish.

During this course, Ollie will take you behind the scenes of his Michelin-starred restaurant HIDE in Piccadilly. He will walk you through some of his signature starter dishes, demonstrating ways to impress your guests with humble everyday ingredients, and exemplifying his ethos of sophistication through simplicity.

This course is part of the Tatler Dinner Party menu collection of courses, presented by British chefs.

You'll learn:

  • how to make the gem lettuce and cured meats appetiser
  • salad dressings
  • how to bake HIDE's signature fried potato and rosemary bun
  • creating a lemon verbena and mushroom broth
  • wine pairings to go with each dish

The course includes:

  • 2 on-demand video lessons - presented by chef Ollie Dabbous
  • lifetime access to the videos, notes and interactive class
  • flexible classes - join and learn when and where you like
  • downloadable lesson notes
  • practical cooking assignments and recipes (with tutor feedback available)
  • access on your mobile, PC, Mac or laptop
  • small interactive online classroom - chat online to students from around the world and share your creative ideas

Time to complete the Ollie Dabbous cooking course:

Every student is different but in general we think the whole course will take around 8 hours to complete including:

  • Video lessons: 1 hour in total

  • Your gut health recipe assignments: at least 2 hours per lesson
  • Interactive classroom time: 15 minutes per lesson
  • Tutor feedback review (Expert level): 15 minutes per lesson

What is an online classroom?

Our online classroom has been developed to allow you to learn from our experts in a sociable environment alongside up to 20 other students. After each video tutorial led by your expert, you will be encouraged to practice what you have learned with optional assignments - these can be seen by the other students in your class, who are free to share their own thoughts and questions with you.

You will be encouraged to take part in an ongoing class discussion where you can discuss ideas, post images or work, and comment on each other’s assignments. It’s a great way to learn from other like-minded people who share your passion from all over the world.

This means not only do you benefit from people who are outstanding in their field, but also from a close-knit group of like-minded people whom you can learn alongside. Group learning has shown to greatly improve not just the experience of studying, but also how well you retain the knowledge, and we have built our classroom experience around this fact.

When can I start my course and how long will it take?

You can start your course any time within 12 months after receipt of your purchase confirmation email. Once you start, you’ll have lifetime access — meaning you can revisit the lesson videos and notes whenever you want.

Our courses are designed so that you can study at your own pace, some prefer to binge learn while others like to spread their studying over a longer period of time - it’s completely up to you. To give you a rough time frame, each lesson video is approximately 30-40 minutes long, and we recommend that you spend around an hour on each assignment.
