"Such a great opportunity to learn off some great chefs! The food has been great and we particularly loved learning how to cook our very own 5 star dishes. The Cookery School at The Grand is a must when you’re in York, UK."

"Beautifully located in York, Marc and his team are exceptional at what they do and the vibe and professionalism in which they conduct themselves is a credit to The Cookery and all who visit."

"A fabulous gift cookery experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening socialising with others and learning new skills in a professional kitchen with new Cookery School Director, Marc Williams and team. Our Goan curry was fantastic and the hospitality was warm and welcoming. Eating our dish together as a group was a great end to our day. Thank you."

"Professional, friendly and a lovely way to spend an evening. The course leaders are enthusiastic and supportive, it’s a sociable event and a perfect present. I went solo but there were couples and another solo participant - it’s something you can do equally well on your own as it’s inclusive and totally relaxed."

"This was just fun. There is no other way to describe it. Knowledgable chefs helping out a small group of us which made making things I thought impossible, possible. There isn't a great need for a prior knowledge of cooking or baking and ingredients are weighed out and measured for you. Everything is from scratch and I've already used one of the recipes we learned. I'd thoroughly recommend this to everyone."

"What a lovely day! I was bought a half day course for a birthday gift and chose Middle Eastern cookery. The chef was extremely skilled and personable and made the day fun and relaxed. Will hopefully do another course in the future."
