At our festive cooking workshop, we will use fresh, seasonal ingredients to create delicious vegetarian dishes that all will enjoy.

We’ll encourage you to get creative when planning your own celebration, including how to organise things in advance and ideas on using your leftovers.

We’ll make...

• Mushroom wellington: a rich and tasty alternative to beef made with chestnuts, spinach and caramelized onions. This dish will be the star of your festive table.
• Spiced red cabbage: the perfect pairing to your festive dish and full of colour.
• Honey roasted carrots: the classic carrot cooked with honey to bring out their natural sweetness.

The workshop is hands-on, and we’ll make everything from scratch. You’ll learn some basic recipes that you can then adapt at home to create different options.

Our tutors will support you to prepare the recipes in a fun and informal environment. We’ll chat and answer questions as we go and we will share some festive snacks too. You’ll leave inspired and ready to plan your festive feast!

The course is suitable for beginners or people with an interest in learning new techniques and how to make their own festive treats.

Bring 3 containers to take your food home.

If you have any dietary requirements or queries about the ingredients used in the workshop, please let us know when you are booking E.g. Accessibility, allergies. 

Recipes can be adapted for vegan diets.
