London cooking classes include everything you need

We believe cooking should be fun and stress-free, which is why the only thing you’ll need to bring to class is yourself. This means no stressful trips to the supermarket and definitely no arguing over which brand of butter to buy for baking. 

When you attend our cooking classes in London you can expect all ingredients to be included, with supplies sourced from the best British suppliers. Get a taste of the seaside with a masterclass in classic British fish and chips or turn up the heat with a Spanish paella workshop.

A cooking class for two lets you immerse yourselves in cuisine

We’ve partnered with the finest cooking schools across London to ensure you receive expert training every step of the way. There’s a big focus on acquiring genuine skills you can take home and use in your own kitchen. As well as knife skills, you can also expect to learn preparation and organisational skills, time management techniques and tips, flavour balancing secrets, presentation hacks and more. 

Relax and appreciate the chance to reconnect with your other half 

Looking to spice up your relationship? Try adding a sprinkle of turmeric, a pinch of cumin and a healthy dusting of cinnamon in a Sri Lankan cooking class at The Avenue Cooking School in Wandsworth. Want to bond with your bae? Our ice cream workshop will leave you feeling sweeter than ever. 

Puns aside, a hands-on cooking class is the perfect way to reconnect with your other half. We offer classes throughout the year, though they also make cute Valentine’s Day gifts and anniversary gifts for couples. Classes are held on weeknights and weekends, meaning there’s always something to fit your schedule. 

The proof is in the pudding, with a survey from the University of Virginia suggesting that couples with weekly “date nights” enjoy healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Date nights are said to improve communication, intensify feelings of commitment and help keep the spark alive. Tip: did you know that oysters, beetroots and red wine are packed with aphrodisiac properties? Just saying… 

Cookery courses give you a new outlook in the kitchen

One of the most exciting things you can expect from couples’ cooking classes in London is a new outlook in the kitchen. Our cooking school courses are designed to take you outside your comfort zone and showcase mouth-watering cuisines and ingredients from around the world. From Greek and Thai to Peruvian, our classes are guaranteed to take you on a colourful culinary journey. 

Cooking classes are also an experience that keeps on giving. Most workshops include digital recipe cards that make it easy to recreate your new signature dishes at home. Arming yourself with new recipes and ideas is the perfect excuse to cook a romantic Friday night meal together or stroll hand-in-hand to the local farmers market to pick up the freshest ingredients.

Couples’ cooking classes in London FAQs

Can we bring our own booze?

No good date night would be complete without a glass of your favourite vino. Some of our cooking classes include bottomless wine, while others invite you to BYOB. Others include a themed cocktail, like an Aperol Spritz to get you in the mood for one of our Italian cooking classes or a Bellini to set the tone for a vegan brunch course. 

Expert tip: if you’re bringing your own wine, buy a bottle that complements the cuisine you’ll be cooking. This alone is a great couples’ activity that will get you both excited for your kitchen adventures.
