Country Cooking Courses

Families with teenagers and corporate groups seeking an authentic countryside experience will find Country Cooking Courses offers something genuinely different in the Suffolk countryside near Diss. This rural cookery school specialises in hands-on sessions that connect participants with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients in a relaxed farm setting. The school's signature offering is its British Game course, where participants learn the complete field-to-table process of preparing wild game sourced from local Suffolk shoots and estates. This full-day experience teaches practical skills often missing from modern kitchens - how to pluck and skin birds, prepare fresh pheasants and partridges, and transform them into refined dishes like pheasant goujons, pheasant pâté, and partridge en-croute. The morning focuses on preparation and demonstration techniques, while the afternoon involves hands-on cooking that participants can take home. The setting enhances the learning experience, with classes held on a two-acre smallholding where horses and chickens provide authentic countryside atmosphere during breaks. All ingredients, kitchen utensils, and refreshments are provided, along with lunch prepared from the morning's cooking sessions. The school also offers private demonstrations in participants' own homes for groups of up to six, covering various cuisines including tapas and sushi alongside their game speciality. With vegan options available and facilities for private hire, the school accommodates diverse dietary requirements and group needs. At £99 for full-day courses, Country Cooking Courses suits those seeking practical culinary skills in an unpretentious rural environment where seasonal cooking takes centre stage.
