Cook, Eat, Share

Get the full experience of a cookery class from home with our real-time cook-along tutorials. Unlike a skills video, these are recorded at a natural pace, giving you the chance to cook along with a professional chef whenever it suits you. Choose from over 150 recipes, each with its own cook-along video and downloadable recipe card.

With 15 years of experience teaching young people, we've developed tried-and-tested recipes that focus on building your skills. Our recipes are designed to help you learn new techniques or expand on what you already know.

Choose the course that's right for you: our Recipes for Life Courses provide a simple, structured path to learning popular recipes, while our Ultimate Skills Course gives you access to over 150 recipes, so you can tailor your learning to your tastes and dietary needs. Whether you're just starting or ready for a challenge, you'll find inspiring recipes to help you grow, from beginner-friendly meals to advanced dishes like patisserie and bao buns.

Our courses are designed to build your skills week by week. You'll start with core techniques such as knife skills, sauces, and classic bakes. As you progress, you'll tackle more challenging skills, including bread-making, advanced pastries, patisserie, and pasta, through to advanced skills such as setting, advanced breads, patisserie, emulsion sauces, steaming, pasta and more.

Many students start with a 3 month Recipes For Life or Ultimate Skills Level 1 course for their Bronze Award and then return to keep building levels for the Silver and Gold.

Our DofE students have 2 course options:

- Our Recipes For Life Courses bring together our most popular, quick and colourful recipes into an affordable, 3 or 6 month easy to follow structured course ideal for DofE students working towards their Bronze, Silver or Gold. Students cook for 1 hour per week, with a choice of 2 recipe options per week enabling students to build confidence in the kitchen and develop a repertoire of really practical recipes to take forward into life. 

- For students looking for a more flexible course option our 3, 6, 12 or 18 month Ultimate Skills Course combines in depth learning with a choice of over 150 recipe tutorials allowing students to create an entirely bespoke course to meet their individual goals and to develop their skills to a really advanced level.

Our tutorials are taught by a professional chef with 15 years of teaching experience. Our team is always here to support and inspire you through Q&A sessions and email, and we're happy to help with recipe suggestions. For our DofE students, we can act as your Assessor and provide a detailed report at the end of the course.

Our huge range of recipes always includes meat, fish, vegetarian, and vegan options. We focus on teaching you how to adapt dishes to your personal tastes and dietary requirements, turning you into a flexible and confident cook. Whether you have specific dietary needs or simply want to try something new, our courses have you covered, and we're always here to help with substitutions or alternative recipes.
