Overview

‘Cooking with Confidence’ is a three-part cooking course series that takes place one evening a week for 6 weeks, helping you go from beginner to confident in the kitchen. Through exploring a range of exciting and versatile recipes, you’ll build up a rounded cooking skillset, focusing on a new skill each week from baking and breadmaking, to meat and fish cookery and knife skills.

Each part of the series may be taken in succession to obtain a complete kitchen skillset or take courses individually, in any order. The evening format also gives you freedom to learn on your terms around your 9-5 commitments.
