Amazing teacher – great, useful skills were learnt. The delivery of the class was really impressive and the teacher was willing to answer all the questions we asked. I really enjoyed this  Mediterranean class – it was informal, very friendly and very well run.

“This class was a great introduction to Middle Eastern cooking. The tutor was very engaging and easy to follow and I had a very enjoyable day. Thank you.”

“I had not cooked Middle Eastern food before this class, but the class was still completely relevant to my needs. It was delivered at a good pace and the teaching chef was considerate to everyone’s needs. I had an excellent day.”

“An excellent class in Middle Eastern Cookery – you have really hit the nail on the head and I was surprised at the level of authenticity of Middle Eastern flavours and styles of cooking. It was very reminiscent of home cooking back in Syria. Great variation of recipes and I’m glad you will be teaching others how to cook this way.”

“The Middle Eastern class has given me a new set of ideas for easy, tasty food. The course was clear, informative and pitched at the right level. It was great fun, and well worth the money and the time.”

“The course today was very relevant – it introduced me to many things I would never have tried. Your teaching chef’s knowledge about Persian food was much appreciated and she delivered the class beautifully.”

I am an experienced cook, are all the courses suitable for me?

The Chef will ensure that you have the assistance required to enjoy the day and really develop your cooking skills. If you are an experienced cook, you may particularly enjoy our Advanced classes. Please contact us if you would like further guidance.

I can’t handle spicy food; will your classes be too hot for me?

In our cookery classes, you get to make your own food to suit your own palate, so although we provide guidelines, you can adapt each recipe to suit your taste, as spicy or as not spicy as you’d like.

I’m a complete beginner, what class should I do?

Our cookery classes are not based on skill as such; they are all hands on and taught by an expert chef who can lead you through the cooking processes so even a beginner should be fine on our classes. However, if you want to start at the very beginning, and develop an understanding of food hygiene, knife skills and safety in the kitchen, our beginner’s cookery class would be the one for you.

Our Indian, Thai, and Nutritional classes can be easily altered and tailored to suit a gluten free diet. Please just ensure you make us aware of this at the time of booking.

Alternatively, you can purchase an open voucher that can be redeemed against any class of the equivalent value.
