Home cooking doesn’t have to be hard work.

It most certainly doesn’t if you learn how to chop, cook and serve like a master chef at one of these ace London cooking classes. From prestigious institutions to hands-on DIY experiences, and whatever your ability or tastes, London’s got the full range of edible learning available for anyone keen to start a new curriculum. Here's the top 5 cooking classes in London, brought to you by the Just Eat for Business team. 

Boca Empanadas

Empanadas are the main event at Boca, prepared every morning from scratch and baked to perfection. They make their own light, shortcrust pastry and have a range of delicious fillings for vegetarians, vegans and the more carnivorous among you. If you have no idea what an empanada actually is, Boca offer incredible empanada cooking classes that they'll bring directly to your office, so you'll be in the know in no time at all.   

So if you're interested in making your own empanadas, or just want to taste them made by the experts? You can order Boca Empanadas from Just Eat for Business.

Leiths School of Food and Wine

Now running for 40 years, Leiths is pretty much the first word in cooking classes in the capital, counting some of London’s brightest foodie stars in its alumni. Whether you want to learn how to make artisan pasta, learn the art of Malaysian street food or how to bring Persian recipes to life - Leiths is the place to learn. 

Divertimenti

Divertimenti is known for teaming up with some of the most exciting names in food across the globe, making it the perfect way to learn from one of the greats. With each masterclass you are paired with a well-known chef or foodie who will guide you through the recipes – whether it be learning the art of the chocolate dessert from Hotel Chocolat or cooking for a Japanese dinner party with Reiko Hashimoto – the options are endless, making it one of our favourite cooking courses in London.

Plus, you can pick up all the utensils you need from the well-stocked shop on your way out, so you’ve got no excuse to not start your culinary journey right away! 

E5 Bakehouse

If the Great British Bake Off has got you in a bit of a proving spin, e5 Bakehouse’s cooking courses may be just the ticket. The well-known London Fields landmark now offers a range of baking classes, from bread and cakes to pizza, for beginners and fanatics alike. 

Their one-day bread course covers bagels, sourdough and rye bread, and even insists all attendees bring a large bag with them so they can carry all their creations home. Now that sounds like a star bake in the making!

Buchanans Cheesemonger

Technically not a cooking class, but Buchanans' London Cheese School offers a range of tastings and events to suit all cheese lovers. You'll leave with an enhanced understanding of how cheese products are made, cared for and most importantly, how they taste. Come and indulge in cheese and wine, find inspiration for your next dinner party and learn something new all in the relaxed atmosphere of their shop on Porchester Place.

Or, if you just want to try some incredible cheese and wine, you can order Buchanans Cheesemonger from Just Eat for Business.
