Cookery classes with Family and Friends at The Cooking Academy

Cookery Classes for family and friends

 I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekend leisure time doing something I enjoy with my family and friends. Throw good food and wine into the mix and that’s even better.  Finally add in the fact that you don’t have to do any preparation for a big get together or clean up afterwards, just walk away, heady from laughter, wine and over indulgence! Where do I sign  I hear you say.  The answer is book a closed cookery class with your family/friends here at The cooking Academy in Rickmansworth.  

 Today we have the Hennessy family doing just that, all attending a fish cookery class together. Actually the class has been tailored especially for them, so we’ve taken elements of both our Nutritional cookery class and Fish cookery class and created a cookery class for healthy eating.  The Hennessey’s’ are all in a bid to eat well, live well, and spend the day together in someone else’s space.  I can definitely see the advantages of that.    

 This is a very popular trend and one we are increasingly selling, with combinations of family and friends, just a group of friends or work colleagues enjoying a favourite past time.  It usually starts with one person expressing an interest, followed others wishing to join them and before too long they’ve created their own group to enable a closed cookery class.  The minimum requirement is 5 people for a one day class and 7 for a half day event. The style of cuisine is entirely of your choosing and dates can be agreed to suit you.

 If you would like more information of how to facilitate a group class or about our range of cookery classes in Rickmansworth & Amersham please contact Ronnie@thecookingacademy.co.uk or call us on 01923 778880.
