Designed for all levels of cook, this course is about making nutritious, satisfying lunches using whole foods. Every dish focuses on flavour, seasonal organic vegetables, wholesome grains, and natural ingredients, with nothing ultra processed.
On this course you will learn how to make two different recipes, one of which will be vegetarian, perfect for everyday and batch cooking. You will explore how to prepare meals that make everyday life easier, ideal for families, busy schedules, or anyone wanting nourishing lunches throughout the week.
Along the way, we will explore why certain ingredients make such a difference to how we feel: healthy fats, polyphenols, balanced amino acids, lower glycemic index meals, and dishes that keep you fuller for longer. You will learn the principles behind why these nutrients matter, all through practical cooking.
This is cooking you can use at home, designed to give you energy, variety, and confidence in creating colourful wholesome lunches that taste as good as they are for you.
How the day will unfold
10:00
Arrive at the cookery school, enjoy a coffee, and meet the rest of the group. We will talk through the dishes for the day and ease into the session.
10:30
We begin the mis en place, preparing and chopping ingredients and getting anything that needs a longer cook into the oven. This first hour is calm and steady, giving everyone time to settle into the kitchen.
11:30
A quick clean and reset of the benches so the space is clear and ready for the main cooking session.
12:00
We cook the components of both dishes, bringing everything together and focusing on good technique, flavour, and confidence in the kitchen.
13:00
We sit down together to enjoy the food, talk through the recipes, and round off the day with ideas you can take straight into your own weekly routine.
14:00
Clean down and finish for the day.
What you need to bring
You do not need to bring much at all. If you would like to take any food home with you, feel free to bring a few tubs, although we will plan to enjoy most of the dishes together on the day.
You are welcome to bring a pad and pen if you want to take notes, but it is entirely optional.
Aprons, knives, pots, pans, and all equipment will be provided for you, so you can simply arrive ready to cook and enjoy the session.
