These spices are invaluable in the culinary world, enhancing a wide range of dishes from pickles and stews to meats and curries. Their distinct flavor profile makes them an excellent addition to both savory and sweet recipes.

Culinary Uses of Organic Cloves

Our cloves are widely used in pickling processes, adding a unique depth and warmth to preserved foods.

These versatile spices are also fantastic in infusions, imparting their distinctive essence to meats and curries. Additionally, organic cloves complement fruits like apples, pears, and rhubarb, adding a fragrant touch to fruit-based dishes and desserts.

Our cloves are sourced from India and Madagascar, ensuring a premium quality product. To maintain their freshness and aromatic qualities, they are packaged in a foil-lined pouch. This packaging keeps the cloves fresh for longer, preserving their intense flavor and aroma.

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.

I recently attended the Comprehensive Indian Cookery Class, I would just like to start by saying what a fantastic two days I had.  The class contained a lot more one to one than I expected which I found very helpful. I learnt so much in proper authentic Indian cooking and to be taught by someone who is so lovely and patient was an absolute pleasure. I have recommended the cooking academy to many of my friends and look forward to visiting again to do the Indian street food cookery class.

“The Malaysian cookery class today was exactly what I was hoping for. The delivery was perfect – it had the right level of theory and practice. I really enjoyed the day and I feel that I learnt a lot.”

“This course has really wrapped up my knowledge of Indian food. After the Advanced Indian class I didn’t think it could get any better but you just did it. Well done – thank you once again for the great hospitality, learning and fun.”

“Thank you for a lovely day yesterday. Your patience, kindness and motivational way of teaching, enables you to carry everyone with you. I can’t wait to make my Chinese dishes at home and even put my own spin on it.”

“The contents of the day really matched what I wanted from this class, giving me so much more confidence and knowledge in cooking fish. I also learnt how to get that depth of flavour in the cooking process which was evident from the bouillabaisse dish – didn’t realise I could cook something so posh!”

“The nutritional cookery class was exactly what I was looking for – good nutritional tips and great recipes. Everything was explained well and with confidence. I now feel inspired, confident and well-equipped to cook food with good nutritional value.”

“Thank you for a great class that was delivered with energy and enthusiasm. As a nutritionalist I particularly found the health benefits of food so interesting and relevant to everyday eating. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Thank you”

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.
