Small classes, fantastic ingredients, personal tuition, a great location and competitive prices - the cookery school that has it all.

What started as a small experiment four years ago - the idea of offering a few evening cookery classes - has grown into - well - a proper cookery school. I do all the teaching myself and this year the programme includes day, weekend and week-long courses aimed at both beginners and experienced chefs. A number of factors make this cookery school different:

  • Small classes. For practical courses as few as eight people. For demonstrations no more than 15.
  • Personal tuition. Clearly possible because the class size is so small.
  • The use of only first class ingredients. I am obsessed with using local, seasonal, fresh, organic and free range (well, not free range vegetables obviously) ingredients.
  • Nice people. I don't know how else to put it. The fact is we seem to attract a very friendly, cheerful class of attendee.
  • Fantastic location. The school is located in my restaurant overlooking the sea in Durrus and has one of the most beautiful views (well, I think so) in the entire world.
  • Lots of extras. Parties, dinners, free wine, free tea and coffee . . . each course has lots of little extras built in.
  • Excellent value for money.
