Cookery classes in Oxfordshire

I hear that cookery classes are hard to come by in Oxfordshire? If so then log onto our website and book your fill of cookery classes with us, Here at The Cooking Academy in Rickmansworth & Amersham.  We have had a number of customers from the Oxfordshire area, pleased that they found us having scoured their own immediate neighbourhood for authentic cookery classes for Thai cookery or Indian cookery and Middle Eastern cookery classes.  

I am pleased to say our cookery school is visited by many clients from all over the country and across from Europe. 

Here’s one review from a client who attended recently:

My wife had been looking for a cookery clas in Oxfordshire for over three years, every birthday and christmas she’d scour the county for appropriate cookery classes, till finally she found The Cooking Academy.  Albeit in Hertfordshire, the travel time was actully only 50 minutes, which apparently was a shorter time than clients that had travelled in from London and other surrounding areas.  The class was excellent, providing all the cookery tuition I had hoped for and much more by way of hints and tips of kitchen management .  To be honest it was much more than I had expected and excellent value for money.  Needless to say I have already booked for the advanced class in the Indian series.   Jeff Hall – Abingdon
