NEWS SWIFT COOKERY SCHOOL OPENS Swift House Cookery School, which has recently opened in Bethersden near Ashford in Kent, has announced its programme of cookery courses, including a session with Dev Biswal, chef patron of the award-winning Ambrette restaurants in Margate and Rye. Swift House Cookery School is owned and managed by Caroline Phillips and sponsored by Callebaut, the famous Belgian chocolate company. It was Callebaut’s internationally acclaimed Chocolate Academy where Caroline learned the craft of chocolatiering.
