What to expect

Arrive at the kitchen space and meet your chef, who'll walk you through the day's menu in plain language. You'll handle ingredients, practise technique, and build dishes together—chopping, mixing, cooking at the stove. The pace is relaxed; questions are expected. Once everything's ready, you'll gather to eat the food you've made, tasting the results of your work. Most classes run for two hours including cooking and eating. If you're rusty in the kitchen, the chef won't rush you; if you're confident, there's room to ask deeper questions about flavour and method.

Good to know

Bring an apron or wear something you don't mind getting splashed. The kitchen is reachable by public transport; prams are welcome if you're bringing young ones. Specialist infant seats are available on request. Book ahead to confirm any dietary requirements or allergies.
