It is also possible to have Aga lessons in your own kitchen or in Fran’s.  If you are new to Aga a three to four hour lesson may benefit you and help you to get to grips with adapting to cooking the ‘Aga way’. Please call or email for further details.

A common problem heard from Aga owners is that they have trouble making an ordinary sponge cake.  In a three or four oven Aga there is, of course, the Baking Oven.  In a two oven Aga cakes are cooked in the Roasting Oven using a cold plain shelf two runners from the top of the oven, which protects the cake from the fierce heat at the top.  When cooking a cake in two tins the cake in the tin at the back of the oven is likely to cook faster and it is a good idea to switch the tins round 5 minutes before the cooking time is completed.  This will only take 25 minutes – so be sure to set a timer.  See the Recipe page for a quick and easy sponge cake.
