The Natural Cook Company

Families and aspiring young bakers will find The Natural Cook Company an engaging cookery school that nurtures children's culinary creativity through hands-on workshops. Founded by Becca and based at SYMES Kitchen near Bordon in Hampshire, this intimate school operates from a bespoke cookery studio whilst also offering sessions at community venues across the South East and in clients' homes.

The school specialises in children's baking workshops designed to build confidence and skills in a supportive environment. Each young participant works at their own individual cookery workstation in true MasterChef style, creating everything from seasonal treats to impressive showstoppers. The curriculum spans Bread Making, Chocolate Making, Cupcakes, and Seasonal Baking, with classes structured around both fundamental techniques and creative expression.

Children aged 8 and above can master the art of hidden heart cupcakes, learning to create Valentine's treats with secret sponge hearts that reveal themselves when cut open, taking home six decorated cupcakes from £40. The Easter Cake Showstopper workshop teaches aspiring junior bakers to craft rich chocolate sponge cakes covered in ganache and decorated with biscuits and chocolate sweets for £45. More intensive experiences include the Mini-Masterchef Day for children 11 and above, covering basic knife skills and food hygiene whilst cooking four complete recipes including lunch, from £80.

All ingredients and equipment are provided, with dietary requirements accommodated upon notice. The school also extends into adult territories including cheese making and charcuterie, plus offers corporate sessions and private hire opportunities. Young bakers seeking structured learning in a professional yet nurturing environment will thrive here.
