March 2025I did a Malaysian street food cookery class with Ann today, she was very informative and gave lots of fantastic tips. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would definitely book again. 10/10

April 2025Brilliant Latin American class with empanadas, tacos and an amazing zingy sweetcorn take on a salsa/salad. Alex was not only a great chef but also an engaging person with plenty of other tips on avoiding food waste and prepping beforehand ingredients that you’ll frequently use. He was very passionate about cooking and nutrition in a refreshing way, definitely left with lots of tips, recipes and a full tummy.

March 2025Hands-On Artisan Bread Making! 🍞✨ If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make artisan bread from scratch, Ann’s Smart School of Cookery is a great place to do it! The class was a fun, interactive experience, offering practical techniques, expert guidance, and delicious results. We arrived a few minutes late due to tricky parking, but the staff were really easy-going. They quickly pointed us in the right direction, making it effortless to integrate into the class without missing out. The session began with a brief introduction to bread-making fundamentals, covering topics like flour types, kneading techniques, and fermentation processes. The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, and ensured everyone understood each step before trying it themselves. We mixed, kneaded, and shaped different types of dough, with the hands-on approach really helping to grasp the techniques. While there were several bread varieties, we each got to choose one to make, and later shared what we baked at the end. Seeing the dough rise and transform into beautifully baked artisan bread was so satisfying! The aroma filling the kitchen was incredible, and the final product was crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside—absolutely delicious! The venue was well-equipped and had a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, making it a great activity for food lovers, beginners, or anyone looking for a hands-on culinary experience. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to try the art of artisan bread baking in a fun and friendly environment!
