Our beginners’ cookery course starts on a Monday morning at 11 am. Training will take place in our purpose built fully equipped kitchen with plenty of working space for each student. You will enjoy working with other students and we also make sure there is plenty of personal tuition and help. You do not need to bring any special cooking equipment as you will be supplied with everything you need to enable effective learning.

During the basic cookery course you will receive demonstrations as well as clear, constructive guidance. A large part of each day will be taken up with hands-on cooking as we believe this is the best way to learn. At the end of each day you can look forward to relaxing with your fellow students, eating the meals you have cooked that day.
