Great Escape: Cooking Classes

Add some new recipes to your weekly menu with the help of a local cooking school

You have spent the summer catering to your kids and their friends, literally. Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, burgers. Isn't it time to cook a meal for you that is a little more involved and a whole lot tastier?Β 

While sparking up the grill has long been a summer ritual it is easy to be tempted to stay indoors and cook with the soaring temperatures of late. If the inspiration to cook new and unique meals left your kitchen along with the desire to spend time in the blazing sun then now is the time to sign up for a cooking class that can help ignite a new passion for cooking.

Cook's Warehouse in Brookhaven hosts a range of classes, from 'Getting Figgy With It' to 'Summer Sweetcorn Hands On' to classes on Pasta and Burgers. You can learn the secret to cooking the freshest fish, and discover how to whip up Asian dishes that make even the pickiest member of your family happy.
