Is it any good?
 
Re: Cooks Academy

Going there tonight for a cookery demonstration/lesson but I haven't been before.
 
Re: Cooks Academy

Went there recently for an Italian Cookery "Hands-On" day. I found it really enjoyable. Everyone got to make their own food (bread, pasta and risotto) - and we just shared the cookers and scales. Didnt get to make everything on the list though. Enjoy!
 
Re: Cooks Academy

Went there with work for an afternoons fun.
Its pretty good but don't make the mistake we did, don't eat before you go! we ended up with a lovely range of food, and had to shovel them into containers to take home as we were still full from lunch!
Its a good afternoons fun....
 
Re: Cooks Academy

I went for an evening demonstration last year. I was expecting (after seeing it on TV) to be hands-on, but it was just a classroom demonstration. That said, the audio-visual equipment used meant that you were able to get a good view of what was being done.

Some of their classes are hands-on some are just demos. Their website tells you which is which.
 
Re: Cooks Academy

Well I went to the demo class last night and it was a lot better than I expected. I had twice tried to book the vegetarian course but it was cancelled both times because they got bigger bookings so I ended up going to Christmas Finger Food. Most of the stuff was meaty but the chef told us how to make vegetarian options and also made a few of the meaty things vegetarian for us to try (there were 3 veggies at the class).

The only drawback was the location. The class went on until almost 10pm so I didn't get home until 11pm. I'd consider going again at a weekend.
