Kate

What a wonderful experience! Highly recommend taking a course here. PAM is lovely and she managed to simplify the cooking process for my child with special needs. But best of all she reminded me that cooking should be fun...and not about perfection! Thank you and see you soon! 

Umaiza  Naveed 

My experience at saddleworth cookery school was exceptional. The range of courses provided ample opportunities for culinary exploration. The knowledgeable instructors and well-equipped facilities fostered a dynamic learning environment. With personalized guidance and hands-on practice, this school is an ideal choice for aspiring chefs seeking a comprehensive culinary education.

Karen Outram

Pam is absolutely amazing - my daughter has social anxiety and is Autistic. She is now fully Home Ed and came to Saddleworth cookery school at a time when she needed to find belief in herself. Pam is incredibly patient and nurturing. The Saddleworth Cookery School has really helped my daughter to understand she can learn and enjoy things despite her school experience. Highly, highly recommend

Adult's Cookery Club

Dominic Page

Attended my 1st class at Saddleworth Cookery School on Monday 18th October. From walking onto the premises, I was made to feel welcome immediately. Wonderfully friendly staff, who have a method of teaching that is equally informative and relaxed. We made Paella and other side dishes which I had not previously attempted. A small group of people started the evening as strangers, but by the end of the session, we were talking and laughing like old friends. I will be booking again for the next session. Anyone keen to improve their cooking skills, please attend a class here - it’s brilliant 👍👍👍

Nicola Donnelly

Great lesson, Pam is lovely and explained everything so I felt confident in what I was doing.
Will definitely be booking again

Date night with a difference. This was a lovely way for my husband and I to spend a few hours together and pick up some new skills.

These courses are great.  Pam and Louise really make you feel welcome. The courses are designed to be fun yet informative.  The night is interactive and relaxed. Nothing is too much trouble for pam and louise ( and their very helpful assistants). They are more than happy to explain anything you need, or assist if you fancy trying something a little more challenging within the recipes.  They are all very kind and always strive to make it an enjoyable  course for everyone. Brilliant place for any enthusiastic cook and for those tipping their toes into home cooking.   So many handy tips and no question is a silly question.  A gem of a cookery school.

Alix Scully

We were bought this as an Xmas gift and came expecting it to be a demonstration. Unfortunately it was just ingredients that were popped on a desk with a hard to follow recipe. There was a big overhead camera but they didn’t use it. A lot of the food was already made for example the rice and chicken. When we walked in there was someone who showed us to the “coffee and tea section” to which we could help ourselves but then that was about it, we found our own table to work at, figured out what baskets were for which recipe and had to find our own feet as to what to do. 

We got to take home some nice food though ☺️

Caroline Lesley

What a fantastic evening.  Me & my husband learnt how to cook Thai red & green curries from scratch, chicken satay & spring rolls - and  delicious it all was too.. The teacher was lovely, very knowledgeable & nothing was too much trouble for her. Very chilled & relaxed atmosphere.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves & would definitely recommend

Getting to grips with the basics or improving your culinary skills, our Adult Cookery Club will introduce you to different dishes and improve your confidence 

These fun, informative sessions for those educated at home are suitable for children of all abilities from 9 to 16years. We focus on the child, with an emphasis on working in a relaxed environment, building cookery skills and encouraging conversations about food and healthy eating.  Classes run every other week.  Book a 'one off' session or join us for a block of 6 sessions, for a full course to develop and hone those essential cooking skills. 
Older children, and those who have already completed 2 terms of cooking with us have the opportunity to complete a BTEC Level 2 qualification.  Those completing the full course will have 2 full assessment days to complete the required controlled assessments.
