Essentially in one evening you will gain the confidence to walk into any butcher\u2019s shop and know what you want. At the end of the course you will take home a new butcher\u2019s knife (that you will know how to use!), a protective glove along with fabulous meat and recipe sheets to put your new found knowledge into action. There is also a fun social element with wine and nibbles on arrival at 6.30pm and again at the end of the evening, allowing plenty of time to chat and clarify all that you\u2019ve learned. This is not a simple demonstration but an evening of intense learning in a fun and relaxed environment.<\/p>\n<p>Pat Whelan of James Whelan Butchers said, \u201cWe always get huge feedback from these one night courses. We normally run them in the early autumn but it was a customer who suggested they would make a great Christmas gift. I have to agree; they are really practical and yet an indulgent night out for anyone who enjoys cooking plus you get to take home some great professional kitchen tools. Why give it away, treat yourself as it\u2019s something to look forward to on a dreary January evening.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about the Butchery Courses and James Whelan Butchers at <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.Jameswhelanbutchers.ie\/\">www.Jameswhelanbutchers.ie<\/a><\/span><\/span>.
