Unleash your culinary curiosity: celebrate locally sourced ingredients
Beyond a sprinkle of salt & pepper!
Immerse yourself in our classes, refining culinary skills with guidance from experienced chefs and bakers. Learn essential techniques and gain insights into sustainable practices. While we provide meat options, we also encourage exploring creative, nutritious, and delicious alternatives in vegetarian, vegan, or plant-based cuisine.
Indoor Cooking Classes
Whether you're exploring plant-based cooking or committed to a vegetarian lifestyle, our workshops teach you how to create bold, flavour-packed dishes that celebrate fresh, seasonal produce.
Led by expert local chefs, each session is hands-on and rooted in sustainable, low-waste principles. You'll learn how to prepare a variety of recipes using locally sourced ingredients, while discovering techniques to maximise flavour and minimise waste.
Workshops are held in well-equipped indoor kitchens, but we’re flexible and happy to host sessions in your own space for a more personalised experience. Ideal for individuals, groups, or team-building activities, our sessions offer an enjoyable, educational introduction to conscious cooking.
Join us for a delicious journey that blends the joy of cooking with sustainable, plant-powered living.
Outdoor Cooking Classes
Inspired by forest schools and farm-to-table experiences, our outdoor cooking classes flourish amid the natural world.
Set against the backdrop of a woodland or natural environment, our culinary experiences are designed to support the development of a lifelong relationship between the learner and the natural world.
Surrounded by lush greenery and blossoming flowers, these classes cater to all ages, creating a harmonious blend of nature and the art of cooking.

Pickles & Preserves Party
We pride ourselves in curating niche foodie experiences—
Unlock your food sustainability and zero-waste journey through our ‘Pickles & Preserves Party’. Let’s transform seasonal produce into delicious pickled treats that compliment many dishes through an interactive workshop.
The focus isn't actually on pickling itself, but on using group activities to help people connect and learn in a relaxed, low-pressure setting.
“The taste is in the eating”
