Equip yourself with an incredibly useful toolbox of kitchen skills as you become the Complete Cook!

Almost all recipes, whether they’re found online, in cookery magazines or in high-end restaurant cookery books, rely on a fundamental set of skills.

In this intensive five session course, which runs one day per week, we’ll teach you some of the most useful kitchen techniques around, giving you the confidence to successfully create a wide range of delicious dishes at home.

You'll learn good kitchen management, knife skills, and how to prepare, cook and present fresh produce to really bring out the flavours.

This is a hands-on, practical cookery course, supported by demonstrations from our experienced teachers and with plenty of step-by-step tuition.

On finishing the course, you'll feel more confident and relaxed in the kitchen, and you'll be able to feed family and friends a wealth of delicious, nutritious and luxurious dishes.

If you have already taken Complete Cook Part 1, or feel as though you have covered the techniques below, you might be interested in Part 2 or Part 3 instead.

If you feel as though the skill level suits you, you can take each part as a stand alone course, or in any order.

Class structure

Cooking with your classmates is an integral part of your Leiths experience. You will cook some of your recipes in pairs, and some independently – whatever the ratio, there is always more than enough food, and often food to take home too (foil containers and bags provided).

Your day will comprise of a mixture of hands on cookery and demonstrations performed by the chef who is running the session. The exact format will vary from class to class depending on the style of cuisine and, in the case of visiting chefs, their individual teaching style.

Unless otherwise stated, you will be eating the food that you have cooked during your class for lunch, usually with wine or elderflower cordial around a communal table. If your class does not involve cooking lunch you will enjoy delicious sharing platters prepared by the school.
