Culinary trips
Join us on a culinary trip in one of our homes away from home! The Marche region of Italy; small, beautiful and mountainous with exquisite wines and produce, and Stockholm, where we dive deep into indigenous traditions such as foraging for wild mushrooms, baking in wood fired ovens, and of course, enjoying ‘Fika’!
Thank you so much for the recipe and wonderful time! The team fully enjoyed the experience and your chef / instructor was so patient and entertaining at the same time. She did a wonderful job making it enjoyable and easy for everyone. The team is still a little new working together and this experience gave us many opportunities to work together outside of our normal roles, giving each of us opportunities to show our strengths.. or not!Jennifer, corporate team event participant, summer 2022
Yesterday was my second day in your cookery school - and it was just as brilliant as my first! I brought my friend along this time because I enjoyed my day so much back in March. Tracey and Jackie are so good at being quietly helpful but not taking over and doing things for us. They are calm and give us confidence - just excellent. The choice of recipes are a great mix and I have picked up so many really useful tips and gained much more understanding of the cooking process. I really think you have gauged these days perfectly - fun, informative, creative and just a joy - thank you so much. I will be back for more I am sure!Liz, Bread making class participant, July 2022
We wanted to say a great big thank you to you and your team for such a wonderful few hours baking. Annabella had the best time and is continuing to bake one or two new recipes a week. As a family we enjoyed all the bakes from the class, especially the lemon drizzle! We hope to enrol Annabella in another baking or cooking class again soon! You are doing an amazing job inspiring young people to bake/cook! Ohhh and the café food and drinks were divine, whilst I waited for the course to finish! Joanna Voychick, parent of a young participant of 'Cake Making' class
Visited with a group of 10 for a 2 hour cooking lesson - we selected the curry menu and made the most delicious meals! We made so much food that the 10 of us had a big lunch plus took enough home for lunch leftovers the next day! They catered for a vegetarian in the party too! We spent 3-4 hours in total and had a lovely relaxing lunch in the sun after - at no point did we feel rushed. Staff were so helpful, friendly and knowledgable. They couldn't have given us a better experience. Thank you for a fabulous morning!Brilliant experience!
Thank you for a fantastic evening. Everyone enjoyed it, but most importantly Susie said how perfect the evening was. The atmosphere was exactly what I wanted to achieve and everyone loved the food that we created. I think it's great to be able to inspire people to be able to cook such amazing food. So thanks to you and Tracey (who was great) and the rest of the team. We will be sure to come back!Kevin Mansell, Control-F
We hosted our annual team building event at Cambridge Cookery and had a blast! We had a 'Great British Bake Off' style competiton. It was great to see the team so engaged and working together. The cookery school is clean and modern. The staff are super helpful and made the Bake Off a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend the Cookery School to businesses or large groups looking for something fun and engaging to do together.Great place for team event!
I was given a voucher to attend a bread making course at Cambridge Cookery. On arrival I was greeted by freshly made brownies. The staff were very friendly. The day started with a talk then we started making different breads. We made cinnamon buns, rye rolls and lots of other delicious breads. We ended the session with a delicious lunch and homemade doughnuts! I would thoroughly recommend attending a course here.Informative bread course

Sicilian blood oranges are only here for a few weeks. Easy to peel as thick skinned, delicious in smoothies, cakes and on steel cut oats with a dollop of Kefir - we love the dairy products from The Collective. Higher in acidity and more aromatic than other oranges they are a fantastic match for salty blue or yew’s cheeses, bitter leaves and fatty protein like duck.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.Most of us chefs here know a lot about nutrition, eat food cooked from scratch and extol the virtues of home made food. We shun processed food. We took part and were riveted! Personal mapping of gut biome, understanding of how well - or not - we process sugar and fat has been nothing short of revolutionary for us all. @tim.spector #ZoeApp #guthealth #gutbiome #bloodsugar #healthyfood #healthyeating #cookfromscratch #learntocook ...
