Home cooks of all ages will find their place at Cookery School in Emsworth, Hampshire, where Barbara has been teaching from her home kitchen for over a decade. The intimate setting accommodates everything from children's holiday workshops to corporate team-building sessions and romantic date nights.
The school's baking programme spans three core areas: Biscuits & Cookies, Bread Making, and International Baking. Classes maintain a hands-on approach where techniques are demonstrated before students recreate each recipe themselves. The relaxed atmosphere makes complex methods accessible to newcomers whilst still engaging experienced bakers looking to expand their repertoire.
Young bakers aged 8-15 can join dedicated biscuit making workshops during school holidays, learning to craft homemade digestives and gingernuts from scratch. These 2.5-hour sessions, priced from £40, focus on fundamental biscuit techniques in small groups of six children maximum. Everything needed is provided, and participants take home all their creations.
The Scandinavian Inspired Baking class offers a four-hour deep dive into Nordic traditions for £93. Students master traditional Scandinavian recipes and techniques, with all creations boxed up to take home. The demonstration-first approach ensures everyone grasps each method before attempting it themselves.
Beyond baking, the school runs general cooking classes and barbecuing workshops, making use of outdoor garden space when weather permits. Evening sessions accommodate working schedules, whilst private hire options allow groups to book exclusive experiences. Gift vouchers are available, and vegetarian alternatives can be arranged. The school suits dedicated hobbyists, families seeking shared experiences, and beginners wanting personalised guidance in a supportive home environment.
