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.
