The Cooking Academy

Our new London Location – Old Street – London 

Food is our passion, and over the last 7 years we’ve been overjoyed at bringing our unique teaching style to thousands across this country and beyond, helping them to improve their cooking skills and hone their hidden talents. In June 2013 we’re excited to be able to bring The Cooking Academy to even more people with our brand new second location in Central London.

Cooking Classes in London

Easily accessible from The City and The West End, our new kitchens are minutes from Old Street Tube Station in the heart of the Capital, and they provide another space for people to come and learn how to cook their favourite cuisine with The Cooking Academy’s unique approach.

We’ll be offering our popular Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese cooking classes, as well as Corporate Classes and teambuilding events for those of you who want a inner London location. Being 10 minutes from Liverpool Street and 15 minutes from Oxford Circus means we’ll be more accessible than ever before, and we look forward to welcoming both existing and new customers to our new location.  Of course, whilst this is all very exciting, you needn’t worry that classes at our Hertfordshire location will run less frequently as they’ll still be running regularly!   If you currently have a voucher for our Hertfordshire kitchens and would like to change it to one for our Central London location, we’ll be happy to do that for you at no extra cost.

If you’d like to book yourself a place on one of our Central London courses, simply visit our website and purchase a voucher for any of the relevant classes, and mention the fact that you’d like to visit us in London when booking your date!

We’re very excited about this new chapter for The Cooking Academy, and we look forward to welcoming you very soon!

Creating spice blends at the Cooking Academy - Hertfordshire

Indian cooking classes in Hertfordshire

All time favourite class today – The One day Indian cookery class here in Rickmansworth.  We’ll be covering the all important ‘Spice Trail’ which is a comprehensive guide of the herbs and spices used in Indian cookery. 

This is an ‘all senses’ experience, where the participants will be touching, feeling, smelling, tasting, each and every spice to familiarise themselves with the taste and aroma to be able to distinquish the flavours in food.  The delegates will then go on to create several spices blends.  This is alchemy at its best – where the science of food crosses over into taste and flavours and creates a food feast.

Our aim is to get the delegates involved in ‘real cooking’ to grasp the true essence authentic food; following a recipe is one thing but getting underneath it, is what we do in our classes here at The Academy.  This is the real deal getting down and dirty – sleeves rolled up.

To book your place on our next class contact us on 01923 77 8880 or email cara@thecookingacademy.co.uk

If you want to learn to cook real Indian food, or how to make curries look no further.

Today, chef Kumud Gandhi will be teaching the essence of authentic Indian cuisine.  In this class he will be teaching his student how to blend spices to create mouthwatering flavours and how to change one to two ingredients to get a completely different flavour.   This class is a one stop shop for Indian and Asian cookery classes, giving you the mechanics of cookery as well as the subtle art of discovering your palette and learning why to as well as how to.  

The classes are small, the tuition is direct and entirely hands on, you touch , your feel, you smell, you do and you learn. 

For an amazing day of cookery, book now for our cookery classes with a very big difference.  Tel 01923 720 697 or contact cara@thecookingacademy.co.uk
