Cooking Class: Greek Mezze

Cooking It began over 11 years ago in the home kitchen of founder Monica, where the lively buzz of food preparation and the joy of shared meals became a daily ritual. What started as a few cooking classes for children and adults quickly outgrew the space — our kitchen was always full! So, we took the leap and moved into our first premises on Chandos Road. Four years later, after the pandemic and a steady growth in demand, we expanded again, staying true to our roots in Chandos Road. And now, Cooking It has found its vibrant new home on Gloucester Road, where we continue to welcome food lovers of all ages.Cooking is more than just a skill — it’s a way of creating community, building confidence, and sharing joy. Our passion lies in bringing people together over food, whether that’s learning a new dish, celebrating a special occasion, or discovering a love of cooking they never knew they had.We love teaching cooking because it combines creativity, life skills, and pure fun. There’s something magical about watching people go from curious beginners to confident cooks, all while laughing, learning, and bonding over food. Nothing beats seeing proud smiles as students sit down together to enjoy the meal they’ve made with their own hands.Our cookery classes are 100% hands-on, guided by highly experienced chefs who love what they do. Every participant cooks their own delicious dishes, and at the end of the class, we sit together at our large communal table to enjoy the fruits of our labour. It’s about learning, sharing, and tasting — all in one unforgettable experience.We’re proud to say that our classes are fully inclusive. We cater to all ages and dietary requirements, from gluten-free to vegan and everything in between. Whether you're looking to celebrate a birthday, host a hen or stag party, plan a corporate event, or just enjoy a fun night out with friends, Cooking It is the place to make it memorable — with great food, drinks flowing, and music in the background.Since opening our doors, we’ve cooked with thousands of people — from families and foodies to famous faces and Fortune 500 companies. We’ve hosted team-building events for top names like Deloitte, BBC, Dyson, Rolls Royce, Airbus, KPMG, and even the first team at Bristol City Football Club, the Hairy Bikers have joined us in the kitchen too!We’ve also partnered with local schools such as Badminton School, BGS, Westbury Park, and Bishop Road, bringing culinary education into the classroom.With over a decade of experience, a loyal customer base, and a reputation for fun, fabulous, and flavourful experiences, Cooking It is Bristol’s go-to cooking school — and we’re just getting started!
