Children's Cookery Classes and Cookery Parties

Children's courses are offered during the school holidays and can be booked for single sessions. Classes are grouped according to age and ability. Our professional, experienced CRB checked chefs teach students how to make delicious, healthy dishes using fresh and seasonal ingredients. Students get to take their creations home.

We also offer Parent-Child Cookery Courses, Talented Young Chef Courses for ages 13+ and our Off to University classes run during the months of July and August are designed for children about to leave home for the first time. Adult courses are also available.

Our Inspired Gourmet Children’s Cookery Parties are the perfect birthday celebration. We will organise everything so all you have to do is enjoy your child’s special day with them. The birthday child and guests have a fantastic time learning new kitchen skills with plenty of delicious treats to take home at the end of the party.

Let us inspire you and your children in the kitchen, visit our website or contact us to find out what everyone is talking about!

Cookery School for children - workshops and cookery clubs run in Bucks, Herts, Berks and Oxon during term-time and school holidays.

Cookery School for adults - everything from baking and pastry making to Thai, Indian and Italian cookery and one-to-one cookery sessions designed specifically for your requirements.

Cooking Parties for ages 5-18 years - we'll come and run your child's cooking party, bring all the utensils, ingredients, party bags, help the children cook their own lunch or tea and clear up afterwards while you sit back and enjoy the party.

DIY Cooking Kits - wherever you are in the world your child can have a cooking party even if we can't get there. We'll write the party for you, talk you through it and provide you with aprons, chef's hats, recipes, party bags, sprinkles and cake cases, almost as good as us being there.

Splat Store - we also have a large on line cookery store selling products to make cooking fun such as aprons and oven gloves, utensils, cookie cutters, cake stands, cake cases, cooking kits, cookery courses, sprinkles and glitters.

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.

La Cucina Caldesi helps make what can be a hobby today become a real passion tomorrow...

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.

Small classes are taught to create a variety of culinary delights using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Recipe cards are given out at the end of each session to add to your collection.

Our Crafty Cooks Cookery Parties are a great way to entertain all ages. We also run workshops for older children in the school holidays and offer Gift Vouchers and Correspondence Cookery Course

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.
