Home Cook School
HOME COOK SCHOOL
Realise your ambition to become a better home cook!
Home Cook School aims to provide a unique, educational and fun experience for anyone who would like to develop their cooking skills.
Home Cook School delivers cooking lessons in the comfort of your own home, holiday lets and a variety of community venues. Cooking lessons will be tailor made to suit your individual tastes, interests and requirements. Home Cook School aims to develop your cooking skills and knowledge regardless of whether you are an absolute beginner or a keen Home Cook.
Through initial discussions prior to the lesson, your tutor will help you plan a menu. We will provide plenty sample menu ideas - don't worry! Lessons can be taken individually or in groups.
If you decide to have your lesson at home you will be provided with a shopping list so you can gather the ingredients prior to the session. Lessons at home should be relaxing and convenient - don't worry if your kitchen doesn't have all the mod-cons! We will work with what you have. Lessons are designed so you can easily recreate them without the need for any expensive gadgets!
We are also experienced in delivering community workshops and cooking demonstrations. These include courses for adults and school based lessons for children and young adults.
Participants are given recipe cards for all the dishes made so you can practice at home. You can tuck into your culinary creations after the lesson (or during for that matter!)
Gift vouchers are available to purchase which make an excellent present.
In addition to cooking lessons, we also offer a bespoke catering service. Whether its for a celebration gathering, corporate event or funeral tea, Home Cook School is experienced in delivering high quality, made from scratch food, with excellent service. We champion local food producers and use locally sourced ingredients, with a sustainable ethos. Whether its a hen do, intimate wedding or anniversary dinner, we can help to make your event very special.
