Latest News – 2nd Lockdown November 2020

Posted on

Having re-opened on 1 September after making our Little Portland Street kitchens as covid-secure as possible, we were able to run courses and classes and were constantly told by students that once they entered our kitchens, they felt safe and were surprised how they relaxed and enjoyed cooking with us. With the safety of everyone at Cookery School being of paramount importance, those messages have been like music to our ears!

Covid-19 Safety Precautions

Posted on

Since the arrival of the pandemic we have been working towards making the kitchens as Covid-19 safe as we can and were able to reopen on the 1st September 2020.

We ask everyone coming to Cookery School to advise us if they have had a high temperature, developed Covid-19 symptoms or have been in contact with a person with Covid-19 symptoms in the last 14 days. If this is the case we are happy to offer a new class/course at a later date.

Posted on

Like everyone else, we have been sorely tested over this Coronavirus epidemic and, despite the fact that many of our students are still happy to attend classes, having read the government advice, we have decided that it is probably in everyone’s best interest to close Cookery School until it is safe to reopen again.

We intend to put on a raft of new dates for classes and courses that have already been booked starting from Wednesday 18 March.

Choose ethical chocolate this Christmas!

Posted on

Ethical Christmas chocolateAt Christmas time, when we’re all thinking about chocolate, we wanted to mention that we’re full of beans about ethical chocolate!

Chocolate, which most of us take for granted, often has a slightly bitter aftertaste, not because it’s 85% cocoa but because the industry is a complex global supply chain which often results in cocoa farmers, particularly children, losing out. Chocolate is a luxury and we should be able to pay fairly for such a delicious treat.

Class Diary: Cook’s Certificate

Posted on

professional cook's certificate

Jamie McGurk recently participated in our professional Cook’s Certificate course. Here, he explains his experience over the six-week course.  

It’s fair to say elaborate and expansive cooking at university is a rare and laborious feat. During my studies, my dinners were usually simple chicken and rice, followed by a couple of Deliveroo meals and some oven chips in between. Whether it’s down to the laziness of a second-year student,
