Cookery School’s aim is to take people back to honest, homely, delicious cooking. There is nothing cheffy or fancy about the food – it is simply delicious home-made food, using common utensils that can be found in most home kitchens.
The focus is on demystifying cooking techniques, removing jargon and bringing back solid cooking skills, using high quality, primarily organic, sustainable ingredients.
At Cookery School it has always been about the food. It is not about using famous chefs but rather using the best teachers who understand the Cookery School way of teaching and make learning how to cook good food with confidence as accessible as possible.
Even prior to the inception of Cookery School, the school’s founder, Rosalind, has been fervently passionate about sustainability. Cookery School has the highest possible rating for sustainability from the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA) and has been virtually plastic-free since the beginning.
Sustainability is not just a buzzword but runs through the veins of the school, from sourcing top quality, seasonal, mostly organic ingredients, to running the kitchens on renewable energy, the school does everything possible to minimise its impact on the planet.

Join us at Court House Farm and Gardens for this wonderful creative and mindful day of bread-making with a lovely group of like-minded folk and a fantastic talented chef as tutor. A wonderful lunch is included so this will be a fun and fulfilling day.
The five hour workshop includes demonstrations, instructions and guidance on how to make, shape and bake a selection of British breads.
The skill of making your own bread is an essential. It’s fun, cheap, easy, healthier and you could argue even quicker than a trip to the local shop once you have the hang of it – especially if you are crafting these simpler forms on this introduction to breadmaking course.
