What to expect at Virginia Cookery classes 

 

• We cater for groups up to twelve people, open to all ages and skill levels.

• Most classes can be arranged for morning or evening.

• The duration (length) of our classes given on the website are approximate as food may take a little shorter or longer to prepare and cook.

• Guests usually work in pairs. If you come on your own to class that’s not a problem, we will sort you out with a cooking pal.

• Guests arrive ten to fifteen minutes before start time and enjoy a welcome tea or coffee and a homemade snack or local cheese and crackers.

• There is ample free parking on site. There is plenty of space to store your coat and bag.

• Some preparation will be carried out by us before you arrive; usually the messy stuff, for example washing potatoes and peeling vegetables. Our classes are intended to give you hands-on practice, so you cook and we wash up.

• During class we work alongside you, sharing cookery hints and tips.

• We encourage guests to move about, see what their classmates are cooking and get most value from the class.

• We usually cook a selection of starters or snacks; a main course or two; and dessert or cake. We are not too strict on healthy eating, we love desserts!
