Need some inspiration?

Would you like to cook a few new recipes?

Come to one of our workshops.

Our "25 plus" workshops are designed to teach the basics of cookery - and beyond - and will enable you to cook for yourself and others with ease and confidence.

Sound basic methods and techniques are used together with our tried and trusted recipes. Flexibility is our keyword and all levels of experience and tastes are catered for. Dishes include everyday favourites and also some impressive dinner party pieces!!

Workshops run from 10am-2pm (dates below) and cost £40.

We at CookAbility believe in hands on experience and therefore there is very little demonstration.

At the end of the workshop all the dishes cooked will be eaten and participants will take away with them all the recipes.

This is an ideal unusual present for Birthdays, Christmas or any other occasion. Vouchers are available.

Every student is different and our courses are flexible to suit skills and tastes. Our aim is to give you new ideas, more confidence and get excited about cooking.

We hope you will be able to join us and we look forward to welcoming you.

Comments from previous attendees:

I just want to say thank you very much for a very entertaining and enjoyable morning spent at your home yesterday learning new "tricks of the trade" and then sitting round the table sampling our efforts!

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your Workshop last Thursday. The food was yummy and I have learnt some new ideas which I am looking forward to trying out. All in all I had a great time.
