Book Tickets

Join our Food Educator Ceri, for a monthly series of cookery classes for adults, exploring what it means to cook with the seasons; planning your meals around what fresh produce is in abundance from your veg box, market, or even grown yourself in your garden, balcony or allotment.

Each hands on class includes a vegetarian main dish, side and a dessert, putting seasonal produce front and centre. Through cooking these dishes you will gain valuable vegetable specific knife skills, learn how to season to taste, what ‘goes’ together, and how to beautifully present your food.

The class will end by sitting down to lunch together, to enjoy everything that has been prepared, plus everyone receives a recipe pack to take home.

May Menu

Asparagus Mimosa (Asparagus and Egg salad with Vinaigrette)
Watercress & Potato Soup with Spring Onion & Cheese Soda Bread
Chocolate Hazelnut Cake with Gingered Rhubarb
Rhubarb & Tonic Fizz

Classes are small with just 6 participants and take place in our learning studio kitchen at the Museum. The classes are a combination of hands on and demo by Ceri and open to all levels of skills and interests. This class is suitable for adults 18 and over. Cookery class ticket includes entry to the Museum and temporary exhibition gallery.

NB this class will take place twice in May on Thursday 14 and Saturday 16
