Overview
Go from beginner to masterchef-in-the-making in just two weeks, on this new home-cook course. This course has been especially designed for those wishing to master the foundations of professional cookery and skills in a condensed period of time.
You’ll learn core culinary skills with a professional approach, as you cover many of the skills taught on our professional Essential Cooking Certificate course and benefit from the classes being led by the Leiths Diploma teachers.
Unlike our home-cook courses and classes, this fast-paced course includes continual teacher feedback on the food you create, as well as access to Leiths exclusive skills videos, bringing a professional kitchen experience to your time with us.
