Your day begins by exploring how to transform fresh fruit and vegetables into satisfying, flavour-packed dishes that celebrate plants at the centre of your plate. You will master a wide range of vegetarian cooking techniques, from vibrant dips and fresh salsas to hearty mains and fruit-based puddings, all highlighting the best flavours of each season.

With hands-on guidance you will prepare a relaxed lunch and afternoon snack from your own creations, learning practical skills and inspiring ideas to make plant-lead cooking approachable, enjoyable and full of flavour.

This hands-on plant-forward cooking course at River Cottage will deepen your knowledge of seasonal recipes and leave you confident to create delicious, balanced vegetarian dishes at home for 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.

ARRIVE

If you choose to walk, enjoy a 10–15 minute stroll from the car park along scenic pathways to the farm, taking in the stunning valley views. A Land Rover lift is available in poor weather or if you prefer not to walk. Once at the cookery school, meet your host and start the day with tea, coffee, and freshly baked treats.

SESSION ONE

First, you’ll head out to the garden to gather some of the fresh ingredients for your day.

SESSION TWO

Next, we’ll explore different techniques, highlighting how they can enhance your vegetable dishes.

SESSION THREE

Up next, we'll talk about plating techniques and how to make your dish look as good as it tastes

LUNCH

It’s time to take a well-deserved break and enjoy the delicious vegetable dishes you’ve crafted in the morning. A selection of organic drinks can be purchased to complement your meal.

SESSION FOUR

After the break, we'll shift our focus to fruit and dive into preparing both sweet and savoury fruity dishes.

SESSION FIVE

For your final creation, you'll prepare a hearty vegetable main course that you can take home to enjoy in the comfort of your own kitchen.

DESSERT

Before you head home, you'll indulge in the fruity dessert you made earlier and take a moment to reflect on your rewarding day of cookery.

DEPARTURE

There will be plenty of time to chat with fellow guests and the River Cottage team, sharing tips and stories, before heading back up the hill at 5pm.

    Really good. Great mix of garden walk, demonstrations at the front, and us doing the cooking. Lots of tips during the day. Really good having Sean on hand to support and facilitate. I’m fairly neurodivergent and struggle to do two things at once (listen to instructions and do) but I found it easy to keep up. Excellent day.
