Cookery School's approach to food is simple, modern and imaginative. We love sharing our ideas for delicious home-cooking and are constantly finding fresh sources of inspiration to bring to our classes. At Cookery School the atmosphere is fun and informal. We provide the skills necessary to become a confident and independent cook and all our classes have a very high proportion of hands on practice. We always source the finest seasonal ingredients - organic when possible - and continually strive to find sustainable sources for the food we cook.

Cookery School's principal, Rosalind Rathouse, is obsessed with food. She has worked as a professional cook, run her own cookery business and taught cookery to both adults and children for many years. She feels very strongly that proper teaching can enthuse even the most unconfident cook by demystifying cookery techniques and jargon.

Cookery School is holding a chocolate workshop for Chocolate Week, comparing three of the highest quality brands of chocolate; Valhrona, Amedei and Original Beans, before making a chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream and truffles and chocolates.
