Cookery Classes At The Cheshire Cookery School

Cookery Classes at The Cheshire Cookery School

Under the expert guidance of our experienced chefs and specialist guest chefs, you will learn new and time-tested techniques side by side. We offer a range of exciting and inspiring full day, half day, and evening classes throughout the year; from producing perfect pasta, classic bread making, and drama-free dinner parties, to fabulous fish, comforting Italian, and exotic Thai.

Our spacious, state-of-the-art Cooking School comprises a large, two-person chef station with eight satellite workstations, each sufficient for two students to comfortably share facilities and get hands-on with your ingredients. Using top-of-the range equipment, and with all ingredients provided, our small classes ensure that you receive individual tuition and gain hands-on experience.

Classes start with refreshments and an informal discussion with the chef about the schedule, before we move through to the kitchens for a practical demonstration of the various dishes you will cook. Then it is time to roll up your sleeves, don your apron, and enjoy replicating the dishes under our chef’s expert instruction. You can then retire to our Dining Room to enjoy the fruits of your labour with a glass of wine.

Whatever your cooking ability, we know that you will find the right cookery course at The Cheshire Cookery School.

Our Cookery Classes are also an ideal gift for the budding chef or nervous novice.

I recently took part in the French Patisserie & Macarons class. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys learning how to recreate these delicate pastries in a well-equipped environment. Last but not least, the kitchen's impeccable hygiene standards' and Chef Rob's expert guidance made the experience even more enjoyable.

I had a great day on the French course and learnt a lot from Rob’s instructions and demonstrations. Nothing was too much trouble and he took the time to explain things and questions asked on a one to one basis. I would recommend the course to anyone and hope to go back with my daughter and attend the Italian course which looks amazing.

Fantastic experience, learnt the core lessons of the Italian course but there was also lots of hints tips and useful information thrown in along the way. Class was mixed with experienced and beginners but the Chef Rob catered for everyone. Thoroughly enjoyable day and lots of food came home with us too. Highly recommended

Absolutely outstanding! I did the vegetarian course – not my natural territory really but that made it even more insightful. Rob is a great chef and tutor and a really interesting guy. We made lots of lovely food, easily. He dispenses loads of insider tips and tricks of the business throughout the day. The great professional kitchen makes you feel you’re on Bake Off! Plus the lovely staff wash up and tidy for you as you go - luxury! You have lunch of your own making and come away with boxes of food. Organisation is spot on. Very highly recommended.

I was bought a day at this cookery school as a gift. This particular day was French cooking, and I gave to say it was fabulous. I only have what I would describe as normal pan rattling skills , but that was enough. The tuition was excellent, friendly and no pressure, with assistance on hand of you need it . Clear demonstrations , simple tasks and a great variation of dishes cooked during the day, that included a delicious lunch and a good amount of other items to bring home. A lovely gift for anyone foodie and great for couples. You will gain confidence and realise you can make these dishes at home. Only ordinary kitchen equipment needed. One of the best things I’ve done in quite a while, and definitely recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day at the Cheshire Cookery School. The facilities are first rate and everyone was really lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Rob is an amazing chef, friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. I learnt lots and the time flew by, I even managed to make myself a fantastic Gnocchi lunch. It was a great day, really good value for money (I came home with loads of food) and I will definitely be coming back for another course.

We attended the Friday night steak night and had a fantastic time, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Chef Rob was brilliant - really inspiring and entertaining - a great teacher who is genuinely interested in sharing his passion. The team were warm and welcoming. Our fellow students were lovely and everyone had a great time. Ingredients, equipment etc were top quality and the resulting dinner - steak with wild mushroom sauce - was excellent. We'll definitely be doing this again!
