Vegetarian Cooking Masterclass: Elevate Seasonal Veg into Delicious Dishes

Spend a day learning to transform seasonal fruit, vegetables, and UK-grown pulses into sophisticated, satisfying dishes. In this vegetarian cookery course, you’ll master recipes, skills, and techniques that elevate vegetables to the heart of your cooking.

This course will show you how to make vegetables and plant-based foods both delicious and satisfying. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of seasonality and embrace the variety each season brings to your cooking.

Under the guidance of our talented chefs, you’ll prepare a range of dishes, from dips and salsas to hearty mains and a fruit-based sweet pudding. Enjoy your creations for lunch and an afternoon snack, and take home some to share with friends and family.

Is this course suitable for me?  We recommend this course for participants aged 12 and up. Under-16s must be accompanied by a paying adult. These guidelines are in place to ensure the safety, comfort, and enjoyment of all our guests. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or need more information.
