Why Cooking with Rosie is Different

There are lots of cookery schools out there, but I pride myself on being different.

I teach no more than five students at a time in the relaxed atmosphere of my home, Penny's Mill. We concentrate on building your practical knowledge and skills through learning fundamental culinary techniques, until by the end of the course you are capable and confident enough to tackle any recipe.

A Hands-on Approach

While we do spend some time discussing theory, you'll spend the vast majority of your time preparing and cooking fantastic food - after all the best way to learn is by doing.

You'll work hard but learn more than you can imagine - and have a lot of fun too!

Taught in Small Groups

Unlike larger cookery schools, we have a maximum of just five students on each course.

This allows plenty of opportunity for 1-to-1 tuition as well as the flexibility to focus on particular interests or questions you might have, and generates a friendly, informal, learning atmosphere.

Focused on Methods & Techniques, Not Just Recipes

Knowing how to cook isn't about having a stock of recipes in your repertoire. It's about understanding your ingredients, and knowing how to apply fundamental skills to get fantastic results.

Cooking with Rosie will give you a comprehensive grounding in both basic and advanced culinary methods and techniques, building your confidence and ability so that you're ready to tackle any recipe you wish.

Built on 25 years of Practical Experience...

I've spent my life either cooking or teaching others to cook, and as part of the course I'll pass on tips, hints and cheats that have been honed and developed in the real world of professional cooking.

Combined with the thorough understanding of cooking techniques and methods you'll gain, these tried and tested solutions will allow you to create delicious food wherever you are.
