What to expect

We love cooking with ingredients when they’re at their best. Our Seasonal classes are a great way to explore produce that reflects the time of year, whether that’s fresh tender veg in spring or the orchard fruits of autumn.

There are so many beautiful ingredients available during the summer, it's hard not to be inspired to cook with them whenever you can! We think mastering a few simple elements, such as perfectly griddled veg or confidently cooked chicken, will set you up with the basics for any summer gathering. 

We'll be charring and griddling some dishes on traditional hobs to demonstrate techniques you can use on a barbecue or outdoor grill, with the focus on preparation, flavours and accompaniments. These include a spicy glaze for chicken skewers, crowd-pleasing herby grains that go with anything and everything, baked feta and a stunning strawberry cake to finish.
