Cook School
Our COOK School is all about tasting, learning and getting inspired in the kitchen. Our chef tutors have developed a programme of courses that will help your child develop an understanding of seasonal food choices, explore sustainable and tasty recipes that use high-quality ingredients, and develop friendships with other budding chefs.
Upcoming Cook School
Sign your children up for regular classes or one off masterclasses that run throughout every school holiday, designed for children aged 4-11.
Classes run Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Getting prepped
We start each session getting acquainted with our fellow chefs and the immediate environment, before learning about our food hero and understanding the tools we will be using for that session.
Understanding how to take care of their work area and encouraging our chef’s to work together are life skills that will help your little ones in the future.
Cooking up a storm
Cooking is a sensory experience, so our tutors encourage our little chefs to taste, touch, and smell the ingredients they are using. Giving your little ones every opportunity to explore the world around them.
As our sessions are hands on, they have been developed to be age appropriate - making sure our little chef's feel comfortable with the tasks in front of them. Every class ends with a tasting session (aka the best bit!), where they can enjoy their creations. Yum!
Take home
Alongside the tasty treats your little ones will prepare each session, they will be building confidence in their own abilities and gaining culinary know-how that they will take with them for a lifetime.
Repetition is the key to learning; that's why every little chef will leave each session with a ‘take-home’ recipe so they can make their favourites again and again. We encourage our chefs to share their creations with their friends and families so they can feel proud of what they have made and achieved, and show off their new found skills!
Meet Alfie
Alfie, our COOK chef-in-chief, has always loved food. As a child he baked with his grandma and can fondly remember being in his family kitchen surrounded by wonderful smells and flavours.
He started as a chef at the age of 17 working in modern, classical and Michelin- starred restaurants all over Britain and the Channel Islands. After 10 years, he realised teaching and sharing his love of food was his passion. He went on to join the Waitrose Cookery School in 2017, teaching a range of world cuisines and skills-based courses before moving on to b_together in 2021 to deliver and develop our COOK curriculum.
Alfie is proud to be shaping the foodies of the future.
