Pippa Middleton is not just all figure and beauty but has also proved to have impressive culinary skills.
Miss Middleton attended Marlborough College, a prestigious £3,600-a-month cookery school where she excelled. She created a tempting menu of scallops, seared red snapper and caramelised banana bavarois according to Daily Mail.
Her tutors noted that the meal which was meticulously produced after 4 weeks of dedicated lessons, was ‘beautifully cooked and well presented’ and described Miss Middleton as an ‘asset to any kitchen’.
The notes on Pippa held by The Grange read: ‘She was hard-working, receptive, took every opportunity to learn as much as possible and developed into a competent cook. She chose a very successful menu to stretch her ability. She showed great interest, worked hard and efficiently and needed no help producing a beautifully cooked and well-presented menu which we all enjoyed very much. She showed good kitchen skills, has a confident personality and got on well with everyone at The Grange. She is capable, well-motivated, reliable and an asset in any kitchen.’
