Although our Cookery Schools are temporarily closed, why not book onto one of our virtual courses? Our expert chefs will talk you through how to prepare, cook and present various different dishes – and share their top tips en route.

These virtual events are regularly updated, so please keep checking to see what's new. And if you'd like a taster (in all senses!) why not try a free class: How to make ricciarelli biscuits (lovely, chewy, Italian treats).

Waitrose & Partners Cookery School temporary course suspension

Our customers, our communities and the Partners in our business are our priority. That’s why we’re continually monitoring the guidelines and advice provided by the UK Government and Public Health England. As such, we have made the decision to temporarily stop courses at our Waitrose & Partners Cookery Schools in response to the coronavirus outbreak, and inline with current guidance from Public Health England.

Please email waitrosecookeryschool@waitrose.co.uk for further information or to
rebook any courses.

Welcome to the Waitrose & Partners Cookery Schools. We have 4 cookery schools which run hundreds of classes a year. Aimed at all levels from kitchen beginners to more confident foodies, the classes aim to teach you the skills and techniques to help move your cooking to the next level.

Join us for a day or evening class to learn techniques such as bread-making and knife skills in on-trend classes such as Scandinavian cooking and Japanese street food. The best bit? Afterwards, we invite you to sit down and enjoy the results with a glass of wine.

Our expert chefs love sharing their tips that turn good food into great food, and the shortcuts that take the stress out of entertaining. And, as the classes are run by Waitrose & Partners, you'll be cooking with our great ingredients.
