Cooking Experience Days: As parents, we know how important it is to encourage children to learn about how their food is made. With this ninety minute culinary class, they can choose one of three engaging, creative classes to improve their skills in the kitchen!

You'll begin your experience by arriving at the venue, where the kids will be equipped with everything they need for the class. Donning their special aprons, they'll settle in for ninety fun, messy minutes of crafting their own culinary masterpieces during their choice of three classes. If they opt for the Kids' Cooking Club they'll be paired up with a partner, and enjoy learning a new recipe together. Expect classics like traditional pies or Victoria sponge cake; crowd pleasers that they can recreate for years to come. This class can even be used to complete the skill section of their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze or Silver Award! For the little ones with a sweet tooth, opt for the Cupcake Decorating Class. They'll be able to get creative with a variety of designs, decorating pre-made cupcakes with a given theme. The regular theme will be animals and mythical creatures, so they could find themselves making unicorn, panda, or hedgehog cakes to eat in the kitchen or take home to share with the family. Finally, the Ice Cream Class sees the mini chefs split into teams of three, making custard-based ice cream before adorning their masterpieces with their choice of toppings. They will be spoilt for choice with chocolate dulce de leche sauce, salted caramel sauce, and peanut butter cookie dough. No matter which class they choose, they'll enjoy expert instruction in a purpose-built kitchen while practicing safe and effective skills. 

This Kids' Cookery Class in London makes a unique experience gift for creative children, and is the perfect way to keep them entertained while fostering their passion for food.

Reviews
Partner Interview: The Avenue Cookery School

Now this will definitely get you in the mood for food! We all know how delicious the eating part can be, but what exactly goes into the preparation and organisation of those mouth-watering meals? The Avenue Cookery School have kindly answered a few of our questions so we can find out a little more from behind the scenes.

1. What is the history behind the establishment of The Avenue Cookery School?

The Avenue is a family run school that has been around for 14 years. Diana the mother always had visions of opening a Cookery School, so in ’97 she applied for a job at the Grange in Frome working in the back of the kitchen, which she planned to do for a couple of months in order to get a feel for the business. However, instead, she got offered the main teaching position and ended up there for 7 years teaching classes of up to 24 students!  

One day, her other half spotted Mary Forde (the founder of The Avenue) on the internet. After a meeting they became partners, and she finally was able to teach and run her own Cookery School as she had always dreamed.  

Mary & Diana worked together for 10 years before Mary retired. Diana took over the business with her son Richard, shortly followed by her daughter Sophie. The school is ever expanding both its classes and its locations. So far they are in The City and plans to continue with a school in North London.


2. What makes your cookery classes unique to others?

In Diana’s words: “It needs to be fun, which makes it easy to learn, and teaching people to understand food - not to just follow recipes”. The place has a fantastic family vibe with a beautiful kitchen and amazing food. It is totally different to any other cookery school. You can let your hair down in a unique, upbeat environment that you wouldn’t usually expect at a cookery school!

3. What is your favourite dish to create?

Ravioli which is believe it or not, quick to make!


4. Do you have any funny or memorable cookery experiences?

On an evening course, a student turned up an hour early and Richard thought she was the washer upper, having said she was here for the course (despite the fact she was wearing a pair of high heels and was all made up!) Richard set her to work washing up at the back kitchen. I came along and saw her, and said she could use my best velvet lined gloves to help her on the way. After about 20 minutes chatting and washing up I suddenly realised she was a student coming on the course, and not the washer upper!! A good ending though was she carried on and helped us clear up until the class started.

5.Which cookery experience would you highly recommend and why?

Knife Skills Couse as everyone who wants to cook needs to know how to handle a knife, and therefore will speed up their preparation in cooking


6. What are your top tips for beginner cooks?

-Taste your food to check for seasoning and make sure it looks as good as it can on the plate.
-Try and clean up as you go along... it will save so much time in the end

7.Do you have any future plans for The Avenue Cookery School?

Last year The Avenue branched out into pop-ups in The City, expanding their brand and getting their name out to more and more people. The school has plans to expand to further locations over the next few years.

They are also putting a lot of focus on their Vegan evening cookery classes and have put on a 1 week vegan course as well, what with the growing number of people turning to a Vegan diet.


Huge thank you to The Avenue House for taking part in an Expert Interview! Very interesting facts which have definitely left me with a hungry stomach!
