Cooking Classes in London

Our cook school has one goal: to teach you practical skills and techniques that last a lifetime, so you can rely on your intuition rather than recipes. We welcome all levels of cooks, whether you are an absolute beginner looking to build foundational skills (Applied Knife Skills, Steak Knowledge, Whole Fish) or an experienced cook who wants to delve into new skills and cuisines (Fresh Pasta, Fermentation, Chinese Dumplings). Browse our full range of classes below, or search for classes by date using our Cook School Class Calendar. We are also available for private cook school bookings.

Our London cooking classes take place in our Battersea Power Station, Chiswick, Hampstead and Islington stores, from 18:30 to 21:30. All our savoury cooking courses end with a sit-down dinner; snacks are provided in our pastry courses. Our classes are small and hands-on, so everyone gets attention from our chefs and cook school assistants. You'll use the top-quality knives and cookware we carry on our shelves.
