What to expect

Diving into local cuisines and regional specialities is not just a treat for the tastebuds but also a wonderful way to travel from your own kitchen. 

Hearty and comforting, classic British snacks are also a great starting point for practising some key skills. Whether that’s working with pastry, using traditional techniques or learning about regional ingredients, this class will be a delicious way to learn how to make some British favourites.

Cooking with our chefs in the class, you’ll sit down with some snacks for lunch with the rest to take home and share, plus your recipes for the next time you want to cook at home.
