Our Cookery Classes
Our hands on classes are just that – hands on cooking; allowing you to maximise your learning and instill confidence.
For those new to cooking and those requiring a confidence boost or simply inspiration for the jaded cook we have a series of ‘Confidence With’ courses beginning with Kitchen Confidence. These sessions focus on cooking techniques and skills allowing you to prepare simple yet delicious family style and easy entertaining dishes.
For those who cook already but would like to learn new skills and increase your repertoire we have classes aimed at inspired entertaining and seasonal cookery such as game cooking, Christmas entertaining or al fresco dining.
For people who would like to add a professional touch to their repertoire our Learn Core Skills days teach you to Sharpen up your knife skill, fillet fish with flair and have a sauce for every occasion. Along with the skills you get to take away some fabulous recipes and inspiring ideas.
Or simply enjoy our ‘Expand your horizons’ courses, learning how to use spices from around the world and cook up healthy vibrant dishes from the Mediterranean.
Our classes are relaxed and fun. On arrival you will be welcomed by our friendly staff. The course tutor will guide you through the day ease you into the session with a demonstration or two before its time for you to don your apron and get cooking. You will work in small groups to prepare a dish or two under the watchful eye of the tutor. Most courses finish with a meal of the prepared dishes, with a glass of wine or appropriate beverage. At the end of the session you get to take home your course pack full of the recipes cooked, tips and inspired ideas.
We look forward to welcoming you.
