Oil may seem like a simple issue to some, but at Cookery School, what we choose to cook with is the result of many discussions and dilemmas!
First things first, we do not buy our oil in plastic bottles. Obviously, we are a plastic-free kitchen so that would betray our ethos! However, it goes beyond this. There is a theory that plastic (particularly softer plastics) contain BDA and phthalates and these molecules,
