With our Kitchen skills for life classes, we want to make sure everyone gets the best start they can when beginning to cook solo. Our chefs know that a little confidence in the kitchen goes a long way, whether that's making a quick meal, preparing for the week ahead or inviting mates over for a feast. It's all easy when you know how!
PLUS - OUR STUDENT PRICING GETS YOU £100 OFF THE USUAL ADULT PRICE!
Over three days you'll cover a range of skills and recipes, ranging from snacks and breakfasts, to full dinners and puddings. Each day has a different theme to help set you up with essential cooking experience for everyday life:
QUICK AND EASY: Sometimes you just need to be able to get a meal on the table, fast! With some essential knife skills and confidence in core recipes, you'll always be ready to make a meal, completely stress-free. This is a great place to start if you're new to the kitchen and will set you up to start cooking on your own.
Example recipes may include: Eggs and omelettes, Noodles and stir-fries, Quick pasta sauce

Example recipes may include: Beef ragu and tomato sauce, Curries and rice
SHARE AND IMPRESS: Eating with friends is so much fun, we want the cooking to be just as fun! Being able to create your own feasts that not only taste amazing but look good too, will mean you're always ready to throw a party and invite people over.
Example recipes may include: Risotto and focaccia
