Welcome to YORK Cookery School

Are you a true foodie? Do you want to surprise your friends and family with perfect cakes or exquisite world cuisine?

Cookery classes

At YORK Cookery School, you can indulge your love of cooking, pick up new recipes and techniques, or simply learn how to cook.

Based just a couple of miles from York city centre, our hand-picked team of expert chefs and instructors will show you how to create delicious dishes and tasty treats using the best local ingredients whilst sharing their skills and culinary experiences. 

We offer a range of cookery classes from heavenly, dainty French macarons and rustic, robust breads to peppery, zesty cuisine from far-flung places.

We run several types of classes, all of which are fully hands-on:

• Workshops - four-hour classes chock-full of recipes, information, tips and tricks.
• Masterclasses - six-hour classes, much like our workshops but with even more recipes and a deeper insight into the cusines. Includes a break for lunch. 
• Evening courses - two to three-hour classes run over a series of weeks. 
• Skills classes - one-off evening classes focusing on a single aspect of cookery.

With classes for all ages and abilities, from beginners to accomplished cooks, you're sure to find the perfect class to suit you. We aim to provide you with the opportunity to hone your skills as well as give you the confidence and passion to cook all the dishes you learn again for your friends and family. 

All ingredients are provided as well as an apron for you to work in (you can also buy your own rather nifty YORK Cookery School apron when you book).
