Neva Culinary Affairs

Turkish-born chef Neva Kip brings her Academy of Culinary Arts training and Michelin-awarded restaurant experience to a distinctive cookery school in Kidlington that specialises in flatbreads from around the world. The family-run venture operates from a charming garden setting complete with fruit trees and vegetable beds, creating an inspiring backdrop for hands-on baking sessions. The school's bread-focused programme covers essential techniques through classes like Bread for Beginners, where students master the fundamentals of kneading, shaping and baking yeast breads from basic white loaves to olive-studded varieties. The five-hour sessions ensure thorough skill development, with participants taking home their freshly baked creations alongside the confidence to recreate that distinctive aroma of home-baked bread in their own kitchens. Chef Kip's Turkish heritage shines through in her Flatbreads from Around the World class, which explores diverse global traditions in this ancient baking art. The school also ventures into broader Mediterranean territory with its Aegean Cooking Experience, teaching dishes like baked feta in filo with honey and sesame, homemade pita bread, and traditional tarator sauce. These six-hour intensive sessions blend both Turkish and Greek coastal traditions, emphasising the region's characteristic use of olive oil, seasonal vegetables and aromatic herbs like oregano and thyme. All classes from £135 include hands-on instruction, demonstration elements and refreshments, with online options also available. The school suits baking enthusiasts seeking authentic international techniques in an intimate, garden-based setting.
