Teacher was experienced and patient
Learned a lot
Made a complex process simpler
Highly recommend

Bethany Apr 2024


An amazing class. I emailed them before booking to see if it could be adapted for gluten free and they had everything ready for that when I arrived.
I was a bit worried because my culinary skills leave something to be desired but everything was clearly explained and I actually made good food!

Kenneth Marshall Apr 2024

Knife Skills Class review by Kenneth Marshall - Milton Keynes

Teacher's response

Thank you for the review and I'm glad you were plesently surprised.
I've sent the recipes so you can recreate the dishes.

Robin Blackwell Apr 2024


Teacher was excellent - he was very skilled and took the extra time to explain to each of us where we had more questions or were struggling. Really useful course learned a lot that I will take away and practice and the dishes made were delicious

Kim Hall Apr 2024

Lovely people on the course would definitely book again for a course and recommend to others

Cup Cake Decorating Class review by Michelle Wilson - Milton Keynes

Gemma Mar 2024


Bhavna is a brilliant teacher. Me and my 7yo daughter are complete novice's, yet we were able to produce well decorated cupcakes. We learnt how to make the cupcakes, use fondant and pipe the buttercream. I would definitely attend again with another family member. My daughter lived the piping and was very good.
The venue was just the right size and there was plenty of parking.

Colin Gray Mar 2024


Fabulous course. Learned a lot. John and the rest of the team were excellent. Thoroughly recommend.

Slava Thomas Mar 2024


The class was fun but I’m really disappointed we haven’t received the recipes still. I was looking forward recreating what we learned. Maybe it is a good idea to email them prior or straight after the class.

Teacher's response

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience and i'm glad to hear you enjoyed the class. You attended the class on the 2nd and the recipes were sent out 5th. Hope you have received them and enjoy recreating the dishes. Please send us photos we would love to see them.

This was for a birthday treat. Teacher was good. We learnt how to make sushi, dumplings and katsu sauce. Liked making the sushi most but the dumplings were the most yummy.

Julia Blain Feb 2024


Japanese Cooking class purchased for my husband for Christmas, which was a great experience gift. Bav, our hostess was lovely and welcoming; Sofia our teacher and Masterchef was amazing! She clearly demonstrated the steps and then supported through circulating the kitchen.
Loved the venue, was a great atmosphere and lovely space. I really enjoyed interacting with other students.
We cannot wait to try out our new skills in sushi, gyoza’s and katsu chicken curry! Thank you so much!

Hannah Jacobs Feb 2024


This was a Christmas present from our daughter, my husband and I throughly enjoyed our Italian cookery course. The food was lovely and we enjoyed making all the dishes just need a bit more practice on the pasta making.
Would definitely recommend to anyone as a special treat
Thank you for a great experience

Elizabeth Clarke Feb 2024


I really enjoyed the whole experience, from start to finish, I am only 15 and was a bit apprehensive! The teacher was amazing, I learned lots, how to make bread, and pasta, combined with my food tech lessons at school the process made sense.

I will do another course as my passion is cooking. Thank you for making it a wonderful experience.

Sarah Allen Feb 2024


Great cupcake decorating class. Very fun and they tasted delicious! I would take a more advanced class if it was offered.

We all had such a great experience on the Thai cookery course. The teacher and assistant were lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. We learnt a lot and met some nice people who were also on the cookery course. Food was amazing, definitely recommend

Thomas Webb Jan 2024


Fantastic experience, exactly what we were looking for. Good clear teaching and instructions, with support all the way through. Ranging from absolute basics and fundamentals through to something slightly more complex but so so useful in everyday cooking. Really will be putting the new skills learnt to use everyday, and a delicious meal in the process. Highly recommend!

Thanks to Sofia and the MK Cookery School team. Great class from a real expert. Learnt lots about food prep, techniques for gyozas/dumplings, etc. Great atmosphere.
Very accomodating for veggie/pescetarian. Thank you!

Had a fantastic day with Bhavinder, who was an excellent teacher with great knowledge and a lovely personality. I attended with my daughter and we worked together throughout the day; a real bonus.
We enjoyed what we cooked whilst we were there and were able to bring some food home to share with my wife; proving we are now competent cooks.
Good value for money for the skills we have learnt.

Luke Sep 2023


A great day of cooking. All the dishes , 9 in total, were prepared by us in pairs and cooked under Bhavna's experienced guidance. I wouldn't describe myself as an adventurous cook as work/home/Dad's taxi service tends to limit being able to take time and experiment much. It was lovely to have the time, watch and share doing some really tasty cooking. The MK Cookery school was a good base for the course, all the kit, clean and organised and there was a pot washer on hand to take away that drudgery aswell. Many useful prep and cooking tips thrown in by Bhavna during the day and our only mistake was forgetting to add the potato to the Tortilla de patatas y cebolla. It gives me a good excuse to try cooking that one again first.

Miss Aug 2023


This session was an enjoyable experience and I found the practical element really helpful to develop my decorating skills. There's a lot to get done within the time but fun. Materials and boxes are included in price.

Charley Dunlop Jul 2023


The venue was easy to find and lots of parking.
We went to the bbq beginners class.
The teachers were amazing, they worked very well together.
They were friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, funny and enjoyable to listen to.
Lots of food, we brought containers to take food home with us.
We also enjoyed that it wasn’t just cooking meat, we also made some amazing sauces/marinades.
They were happy to answer any questions, they were also happy to talk about other cooking knowledge they had if you wanted to speak about anything else.
Will definitely be going back for another cooking lesson with a different type of food (Italian or Mexican).

From the moment we arrived, it was a friendly and welcoming class in a well equipped and laid out unit.

After explaining what to do, being a small class, attention was given to each of us individually to ensure we were doing it right, to ensure we had the best possible results.

Possible problems were explained with explanations of how to avoid or resolve them.

Mum and I came away with a good batch of macarons, huge smiles and the overwhelming sense of having had a great time!

Lucy Whitmor Jul 2023


We had a great morning learning how to decorate cupcakes. It was great learning new skills. Bhav was great at modelling and helping refine your skills. Fun morning and even better taking home 12 delicious cupcakes. Definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed the class, learnt a lot - step by step guidance but space to have fun as a couple too and get on with it! The food was delicious - sushi, dumplings which were our fav, a dipping sauce, Katsu curry and steamed fish

Gillian Kenyon May 2023


Made some lovely food. The kitchen and facilities were really nice. Enjoyed making tortillas from scratch - never done that before.
Would have preferred to spend more time cooking and learning and to take the food home instead of spending time eating while we were there.

John Williams May 2023


We are four keen amateur cooks and friends who thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish Tapas class. Sofia Gallo provided expert tuition in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Learned new techniques from the session. We would love to attend another class one day soon. Italian pasta cooking perhaps? Thanks to Sofia, Bhavna Patel and their kitchen staff. Regards, John

Teacher was very knowledgeable and passionate. Great tips shared
Venue was great, has parking but shame not easy to find because the satnav doesn’t pinpoint it accurately. But the premises were perfectly adequate. Food we made was great. Can’t believe how much we went through and made in that short time.

Bav was fantastic and explained things really well. We had 3 people who had never cooked a meal before so this was a big step. We all had an amazing night and nothing was too much. It was a memorable Christmas party and we would go back again soon!

Bav was a great host and explained everything really well. The cooking space was excellent and there was a huge dining table for all 10 of us to sit and enjoy our creations. The ingredients were all good quality and Bav , without request from us, went and bought extra ingredients for those with preferences or allergies. There was so much food to go around which was a nice surprise for us. We would 100% recommend doing this!

The experience was wonderful from start to finish!
I booked this class to do with my step daughter and when we arrived; we were welcomed by Bhav who offered us hot drinks / water.
The kitchen we worked in was clean, tidy and very well organised. The instructions we received throughout were clear and the demos we had during the class were also really helpful.
No question that was asked by the group was a silly question and we learnt a lot about how to bake the perfect cupcake, as well as how to decorate them!
The piping work was really great and it was fun making our own fondant creations too…Bhav was really patient and helpful whilst we weee making our creations.
We then received an email along with the recipe after the class too.
A really great time - both me & my step daughter loved it!

It was a good experience, loved making and decorating the cupcakes. It would have been nicer if they could teach more decorating techniques

Natalie Nunn Aug 2022


What a wonderful experience! Bav was exceptionally patient with us and incredibly knowledgeable, she really made it an experience to remember.

We created some wonderful dishes and Bav is intending on sending through the recipes via email so that we can recreate them at home!

I've had a nice experience with the team and an excellent teacher to learn about the baking different types of bread
