Children's Cookery Classes and Cookery Parties

Give your children the chance to learn to cook with the added bonus of staying in a castle. Our 'Little Augill Cooks' cookery school is aimed at children aged 7 - 14 and gives them the opportunity to develop new skills in a safe, fun environment.

They may learn bread making, basic butchery, one pot cooking or, for the more ambitious, a complete family meal. Everyone can then sample the fruits of their labours with their own families.

Our courses may also include farm visits, planting and harvesting in the castle's own vegetable garden and looking after our own pigs and free-range chickens.

Courses are tailored to the ages and needs of participants and are intended as residential courses for the whole family.

Please email Augillcooks@aol.com for further information.

As well as being great fun, our cookery classes are also a wonderful way to encourage children’s creativity whilst they learn how to eat in a healthy and varied way. Our experienced ‘Italian Mamas’ will teach their young students how to make classic dishes such as fresh pasta, ragu, potato gnocchi and other delicious Italian dishes using fresh seasonal ingredients.

Smart Raspberry specialises in providing cookery classes and workshops to children as young as 3 years up to teenagers. At our heart is our key aim: “to teach children how to cook nutritious food from scratch, helping them to learn a valuable life skill”. We run classes during term time and the school holidays as well as workshops, parties, Duke of Edinburgh courses and more. We have been teaching children to cook since 2007 since then we have certainly grown, and so have our students. We are now offering franchising opportunities nationwide; please go to the franchise page for more info.

Classes and Clubs
Our after school classes are enjoyed by hundreds of children every week as they develop skills and confidence with food, creating nutritious and exciting dishes from scratch. Our specially created programme has been developed with a variety of school facilities in mind, so whether your school has a fully-fitted food technology suite, or just a room with access to washing up facilities, we have a solution that will fit. And with over 100 different recipes completed (and counting) there is a fantastic variety and something new to look forward to each week.

Parties
Our recipe for a successful party is to take all the stress out of the organising - you provide the children, and we’ll provide everything else. At the party, children make their own party lunch or tea. The menu of recipes include a choice of savoury and sweet treats and they will make enough so they can take something home in their party bag too.

Tuition
We provide one-to-one or small group tuition that is designed to provide a solid foundation for later life by developing key skills in the kitchen.

Holiday Workshops
We run half day themed cookery workshops during the holidays in Henley on Thames, Tylers Green and Milton Keynes - please get in touch for more information.
