The Avenue As they said in the film Ratatouille “anyone can cook”.... you just need training from some of the best chefs in London and you can find them in Central Street near Old Street at The Avenue Cookery School!
The Avenue Cookery School in Central Street is very near Old Street station, only about a 4 minute walk so very conveniently situated. I went to the Cooking with cupid class in the city which was a lot of fun! Although everyone had their own partners, the kitchen was set up in a way so that you were facing others, which made the vibe and atmosphere very friendly. There were plenty of jokes thrown across the table when people made mistakes with their dishes and it was so funny. The banter was great and in the end we all ended up with great tasting dishes. They made the professional recipes so easy to follow and kept helping us out when we got off track lol! I had a great evening there as it was loads of fun, there were plenty of jokes and they were able to bring me from a clueless novice, to making some pretty impressive dishes. They taught us lots of clever cooking tips like how to cut certain vegetables to make them cook in the right way and which order to put them in which makes them taste better, things i did not know before i went! They also showed and guided us through the way to present food beautifully by using certain techniques and how to place it so it looks appealing and professional. The teachers were awesome, really funny, accommodating and experts at making things simple to understand. They could make it simple for rookies like me and also raise the level for those who have been to cooking courses before. I got to make pasta from scratch for the first time and the process was made so easy thanks to the teachers. It now looks so easy and do-able so i will definitely try doing it at home from now on! It's a great night out to learn something new, meet some really fun people and be able to cook a full gourmet meal from scratch that you can show off to your friends when they come round. You also feel very proud when you make everything from scratch and a very cool thing that not many people can do. Some of the best things about The Avenue Cookery School:
