Classes and events for young people
Holiday classes
Join us in the school holidays for some delicious classes. We focus on learning skills, not just recipes. Classes for those age 8-16.
We like to cook foods that might be something new or a bit different, but that we think everyone will enjoy. It might remind you of a dish you had on holiday, or inspire you to travel to a new destination. Or join us to create dishes fit for for any occasion, from Halloween to Bonfire Night, to Christmas and everything in between!
And keep a special eye out for our collaboration classes with our next-door neighbour Tech Camp (www.techcamp.org.uk) where we teach classes with a unique mix of technology and food!
Kitchen Chemists: Weekend cookery club
*Starting 13 and 14 January 2025, on Monday or Tuesday evenings 5.30-6.45pm* Come for a taster session on 16th or 17th December!
Join us each week for a journey into the science of cookery. Learn new skills, techniques and how you can apply them to new recipes. Armed with the what?why? and how? you will be able to invent your own dishes.
Each week we take one hero ingredient or technique and explore how and why it makes our food delicious. There are lots of opportunities for tasting along the way, and we will always make at least one dish you can take home to enjoy with family or friends. We will also learn how to work safely and cleanly in the kitchen so we can be as efficient as possible!

Parties
Have your party in the Cookery Lab. We love parties of all kinds, especially birthdays. Bring your friends and learn to cook together, then enjoy a feast that you have created.
Let us know what you love to eat, or what you want to learn and we can put together a special package just for you. Maybe you want to make sushi and mocktails? Smash burgers and milkshakes? Street-food favourites? A sophisticated afternoon tea? We can host between 6 and 20 of your friends for cooking, eating and most importantly lots of fun.
