From comprehensive six-hour bread courses to quick pizza making sessions with children, Kent Cookery School offers an extensive programme of baking classes from their base at The Courtyard in Mersham Le Hatch, Ashford. The school combines serious technique-focused workshops with more relaxed seasonal offerings, catering to different interests and time commitments.
The bread programme forms a cornerstone of their teaching, with both traditional and international approaches covered in dedicated six-hour courses. The Bread Course provides thorough grounding in fundamental techniques, whilst The World Bread Course explores recipes and methods from different cultures. These intensive sessions, priced from £165, give students substantial time to develop their skills and understanding.
For those drawn to French patisserie, the Introduction to Patisserie course offers a full day exploring classical techniques, also running for six hours at £165. The school's approach to complex skills like macaron making is demonstrated through their dedicated Macaron Masterclass, a focused 2.5-hour session from £85. Pizza enthusiasts can choose between family-friendly Adult & Child Pizza Making sessions from £37 or the more technical Introduction to proper pizza with Gozney from £85, which incorporates professional equipment training.
Seasonal celebrations feature prominently in the calendar, with the four-hour Festive Baking & Bubbles workshop from £115 combining traditional holiday baking with a social atmosphere. The school also covers contemporary favourites through their Doughnut Workshop and provides solid foundation skills in their three-hour Baking 101 course from £90. This range suits anyone from parents seeking shared activities with children to serious home bakers wanting to master specific techniques.
