Head to a Christmas dinner cooking class and whip up a fabulous festive feast

When it comes to winter warmers, it doesn’t get much bigger or better than the ultimate roast dinner – Christmas day lunch! There’s nothing more cosy than gathering round the festive table with your nearest and dearest, sharing food and laughter; from juicy roast turkey and deliciously salty pigs-in-blankets to fresh, seasonal vegetables and of course, the rich and fruity Christmas pudding, it’ll warm both your body and soul!

If you’ve been delegated to the kitchen this festive season, but you don’t know one end of a turkey from the other, don’t panic – we can help to get you roast dinner ready with our easy Christmas cooking class in London. Led by one of The Avenue Cookery School’s talented chefs, you’ll learn that Christmas cooking doesn’t have to mean several stressful hours spent chained to the oven; we’ll teach you some basic cooking skills and then show you how to cook a traditional festive feast, including the crispiest roast potatoes, the controversial Brussels sprouts (we promise, you’ll love these ones!), the juiciest turkey and all the trimmings – and of course, the pudding and (for anyone who might still be hungry!) the flakiest, butteriest mince pies you’ve ever tasted. We’ll also provide you with bottomless wine throughout the whole cooking class – now that’s what we call a merry Christmas!

Learn to cook pudding at home and satisfy that sweet tooth

Don’t fancy venturing out into the cold but still want to get creative in the kitchen? Satisfy those seasonal sweet cravings with an online cooking class, where you’ll learn how to bake brilliant breads and perfect puddings from the comfort of your own home. Baking in your PJs – what could be cosier than that?

There’s nothing that brightens a dreary winter's day faster than settling down on the sofa with a steaming cuppa and a hot, sticky pudding covered in creamy custard. If dessert is your go-to winter warmer when the snow is falling outside, leave the shop-bought varieties in the supermarket and learn how to cook a treacle tart at home with our virtual cooking experience in London. You’ll learn how to perfect your pastry and create the richest, sweetest filling – and then indulge in the ultimate taste test from the comfort of your own sofa.

More into bread and cakes than puddings?

An Indian cooking experience in London will add some heat

If you really want to heat things up this winter, add some spice to your midweek meals with an Indian cooking class. After all, nothing keeps the cold at bay quite like a spicy curry – you might even want to cool down again afterwards!

Led by one of the experts at The Avenue Cookery School in London, you’ll start the session with a brief demonstration of some basic cooking skills and knife techniques. You’ll be taken on a brief tour of Indian cooking, and taught about balancing and blending flavours, before being encouraged to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. With spicy beef kebabs, warming butter chicken and hot, pillowy soft naan bread all on the menu, the cold winter weather won’t stand a chance in this kitchen!

At the end of the session, you’ll sit down with your fellow classmates to enjoy your fabulous Indian feast – with bottomless wine for anyone who fancies it, it’s the ideal indoor activity for the colder months.
