The Veggie Kitchen

From its home in Stanmore, north London, The Veggie Kitchen has been championing pure vegetarian cookery since 2002, with over 1000 classes taught by founder Jyoti Shah. This established cooking school extends its expertise into baking, offering specialised classes that maintain the same vegetarian principles that have guided its success for more than two decades.

The school's baking programme centres on eggless techniques and international sweet-making, covering everything from elaborate Indian mithai to cake decorating and seasonal treats. Classes suit all skill levels and are available in various formats, including evening sessions, multi-day courses, and one-to-one tuition for those seeking personalised instruction.

The comprehensive Eggless Baking Class teaches students to create four different types of eggless cakes while mastering icing preparation and piping bag decoration techniques. This five-hour intensive from £230 runs with a maximum of two students, ensuring detailed attention to perfecting egg-free baking methods. The popular Mithai Making Class from £40 guides groups of six through creating four different Indian sweets, complete with decorating techniques that make these traditional treats visually stunning. Students take home a sample box of their creations plus recipe copies. The school also runs advanced healthy eating classes from £55 that incorporate baking alongside other cooking techniques, designed for those who have completed previous courses.

With its focus on vegetarian and vegan-friendly techniques, plus options for corporate groups, children's classes, and private hire, The Veggie Kitchen suits dedicated home bakers seeking to expand their repertoire with plant-based alternatives and traditional international sweets.
