Win | a cooking experience with Esse

Iona Bower July 18, 2019

Esse is giving away three pairs of tickets to a cookery experience at Kate Humble’s working farm in Wales

Eating good food, learning from cookery experts and soaking up the Welsh countryside are all on offer with this brilliant prize. We’ve teamed up with master stove maker ESSE and TV presenter Kate Humble to give readers the chance to win an amazing cookery experience with celebrity chef Matt Tebbutt. We have three pairs of tickets (worth £165 each) for what promises to be an unforgettable day at Kate’s working farm. Humble by Nature is perched high upon a hilltop overlooking the beautiful Wye Valley near Monmouth in Wales.

After coffee and cakes baked in the ESSE ovens, you’ll watch cookery demonstrations by Saturday Kitchen star Matt before tucking into a hearty lunch in The Pig & Apple café and bistro at Kate’s rural retreat. Matt’s demonstrations will put the ESSE 990 EL electric range cooker through its paces, to show guests the control and flexibility this British-made range cooker provides.

It’s back to basics in the afternoon as chef Jake from The Pig & Apple kitchen demonstrates the elemental delight of baking rustic flatbreads and other tasty treats in the wood-fired ESSE Bakeheart cook stove (pictured). As all good cooks and bakers know, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so there will be plenty of delicious samples to try throughout the day. Come hungry!

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
