Cooking is the act of making the intangible tangible – it is the product of using knowledge and skills to create something delicious and nutritious for those we care about. With each new generation the traditional techniques are infused with new ideas whilst continuing to uphold their integrity, and so avoiding the gimmicks and hype that pervade many aspects of the food loving community at large. Having a solid knowledge base allows us to enjoy the whole experience, from the provenance of the ingredients to the final plating up. Through these classes, acclaimed chefs and renowned cooks will pass to you their thoughts and wisdom on the best ways to handle your knives, achieve the perfect roast and produce flawless cakes and bakes every time.

Re-Master

Being resourceful in the kitchen affords us the ability to plan wisely - making choices that are both beneficial to our own welfare and that of the greater environment. By encouraging the exploration of food choices, different dietary requirements, and healthy eating using natures bounty we hope to inspire a realignment of our modern lives with the natural cycle of the world we inhabit. Understanding where our ingredients come from is inextricably linked to our health and wellbeing. Knowing how to cook with care not only benefits the earth but also allows us to live sustainably, ethically and seasonally, whilst getting the best out of every ingredient.

Resourceful

We’ve managed beer-matching evenings. We’ve hosted high teas and inspiring discussions with international chefs and authors. Our versatile space has also been used to film for television, advertising & web master-classes.

Located on the mezzanine of our retail store we bring together experts to share their skills and experience to guide you on a culinary journey that will both educate and inspire.

We work with you to create an experience your guests will be talking about for years to come. Whether it’s a hands-on workshop, chef ’s table demonstration dinner or a conversational session we have you covered.

CommunityFood is the cornerstone that binds together family and friends. In an increasingly multicultural society food can be the thread that ties us all together, by sharing ingredients and preparation, eating communally, discussing cultural differences (and similarities) and exchanging recipes and homegrown bounty. By exploring cuisines from every corner of the planet we hope to foster cross-cultural conversation and understanding. In a world of conflict and disarray, these classes aim to show that good food is not a privilege; it is a basic human right regardless of where you come

from and how you live.

Our aim is to inspire and feed a passion for cooking, and this year we think we have the perfect mix of cooking classes to engage and excite your food sensibilities.

We approach the year with what is foremost in our minds – Community, Resourcefulness, Re-Mastering skills, and working with and learning from some of the most inspiring Innovators the cooking world has to offer.

You will travel across the culinary globe by immersing yourself in new flavours with classes covering many food communities. Returning to our roots and cooking with care – taking inspiration from the world around us – is at the heart of resourceful cooking, and these plant-based classes will help reground your food habits while being gentler to the environment we live in. Rehone your basic repertoire (and gain some new skills along the way), from the proper use of knives to the most perfectly risen sponge. Engage with the rock stars of the culinary world, as well as the up-and-coming talents, by putting a new spin on old favourites.

With five new presenters and over thirty five classes, with more to be released online throughout the year, let us inspire you to make this coming year the most inspirational and delicious it can be.

There are those amongst us whose willingness to push the boundaries and break from the established “rules” of the culinary arts elevates them to new heights within the food world. These chefs demonstrate that anything is possible, and by playing with and reworking traditional dishes, or creating entirely new concepts, they cement their status as the best of the best. Come and learn from these inspirational figures who audaciously question the established norm, and take home not only new techniques and recipes but a new understanding of

what can be achieved at the kitchen table.
