We also offer free courses to charities, schools, colleges and community groups, to provide life skills to those who may not have the opportunity to cook and enjoy vegetarian food. Call 0161 925 2000 or email cookery@vegsoc.org to find out more.

International Cuisine

If you want to learn how a particular country or region's traditional and national dishes are made then our "International Cuisine" series of workshops are what you've been looking for. Vegetarian food is both tasty and culturally diverse and these courses aim to show you just that.

Indian Cookery

We are delighted to announce our Master Classes at the Cookery School will be continuing in 2015. Master Classes are workshops hosted by tutors with a wealth of knowledge in their specialist culinary field.

Young People

We have designed a number of workshops specifically with young people in mind. Here they will work with other young people of a similar age in a group and will be taught quick and easy recipes that won't break the bank.

The courses are informative creative and great fun and I'm on my fourth. They've really brought on my skills and abilities, given me confidence in the kitchen. Tutors are friendly and approachable. Can't praise this place highly enough.
