Since the arrival of the pandemic we have been working towards making the kitchens as Covid-19 secure as we can. Having opened safely in September 2020 we have everything is in place for our re-opening on 17 May 2021!
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.

Comfort food is food that provides a feeling of well-being, the dishes are typically high sugar or carbohydrate content and tend to be associated with childhood or home cooking. Not all comfort food is bad for you, our Founder Ros believes that homemade comfort food can be healthy as recipes can be easily altered for example reducing the salt content.
In the UK research has shown the simple and classic pizza is the number one comfort food!
We’re delighted to announce a special FREE interactive class for teenagers on the 15th December at 5.30pm. This class is a pilot of our new 20 session cooking programme for kids, based on favourite dishes, that we are hoping to bring to life soon. We have been working on our initiative – Cooking, Reading and Writing – because we believe that learning to cook is just as important as learning to read and write for the futures of our children and their children too.

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!

If you have ever wanted to experience the values of our Cookery School in your own home, you can now use the lockdown period for this. Our founder, Rosalind Rathouse, is putting over 50 years of teaching to perfect use and helping to demystify cooking with interactive cooking classes that remove jargon and celebrate good home cooking skills.
It’s the ideal way to use your time at home to master specific techniques such as learning how to make perfect puff pastry from scratch,
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.

With a dramatic increase in independent bakeries in the last five years across the UK and as our love affair with Great British Bake Off continues, the rise in professional and home artisan baking seems to be here to stay.
For over a decade we’ve been baking with award-winning baker and food writer Dan Lepard, who has inspired and taught thousands of students coming through the Cookery School doors.
Due to the mad rush to get onto our Christmas baking class we added an additional date – the 15th December,
At 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.
We’re so excited to be welcoming the mother of English chocolate to the Cookery School kitchens this Christmas for an exclusive chocolate class! Chantal Coady established Rococo Chocolates nearly 40 years ago and since then, had led The Real Chocolate Revolution from the front. She’s done so much for the industry that she was awarded an OBE for services to chocolate!
We sat down with Chantal Coady to find out what excites her most about chocolate and received a sneak peek of the tips she’ll be revealing at our Christmas Chocolate Masterclass on December 3.
