En Cuisine - Cooking School

With classes from £59 and individual working stations provided, En Cuisine operates as a London cooking school that specialises in making baking accessible and engaging for young learners aged 3 to 15. The school focuses on building essential life skills through hands-on experiences where children take charge of every step in the baking process. The curriculum spans Cake Baking, Pastry, and Buttercream techniques across various formats including multi-day holiday camps, one-to-one tuition, and online sessions. Classes accommodate different age groups, with teenagers cooking separately from younger children when numbers allow, and cover both sweet and savoury baking traditions. In the Mini Chefs programme for ages 3-5, children learn fundamental techniques through approachable recipes like yogurt cake and traditional scones. The yogurt cake workshop teaches how this ingredient creates light, moist textures, whilst the scones class focuses on the rubbing-in method for achieving proper pastry texture. Each two-hour session includes measuring, mixing, shaping, and decorating, with children taking home their freshly baked creations. The Gourmet camps for older children tackle more sophisticated projects like French madeleines, where students master the delicate sponge batter technique and learn to achieve the characteristic golden edges. The pie-making sessions combine sweet peach and mascarpone with savoury tomato and mustard versions, teaching pastry rolling and flavour layering. The red velvet cake masterclass covers advanced skills including homemade icing preparation and vanilla custard making. All classes include ingredients, equipment, recipe booklets, and professional chef instruction. The school accommodates gluten-free and vegan dietary requirements with advance notice, making it suitable for children ready to build confidence through structured culinary exploration.
