Relish Mama cooking classes

Both our girls have attended cooking classes with Relish Mama and loved them and so when we saw that ready made meals were available we definitely got on board. All the meals are so delicious and particularly as a vegetarian the flavours are amazing. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home-cooked, delicious meals delivered to your door each week. (& you can include a treat: the chocolate brownies are the best).

We ordered Beef strog and Italian Chicken. Only problem for us was how to choose a fav! Both were huge successes with our family. Thanks Nellie & team

I love Nellie’s take home menu - I love to cook everything from scratch for my family but when I don’t or time simply doesn’t permit - I serve Relish Mama - ragu and chicken tagine are two of our favourites x

I attended the Magimix Cook Expert Vegetarian cooking course which is quite different from a normal demonstration class. Chef, Soun, was fabulous and easily adapted recipes for our machines. He patiently and thoroughly walked us through each step. We all came away with such confident and excited to experiment with our Magimix machines.
Anna was our delightful hostess - so helpful and fun.
A fabulous evening and I will definitely make a group booking with my friends in the coming months.

Loved the experience of engaging in a Sunday class at Relish Mama. "An Indian Feast". Will definitely return and have already spread the word. Caroline was fantastic, informative, entertaining and really made you feel so at home.along with her back up crew. Great class size of 12.
I loved the fact it started with a "demonstration" of dishes followed by an "invitation" to join in and have a go yourself in groups of 2 or 3. No pressure! Such a warm environment and a fantastic set up. Finished off with sharing all the dishes created.at a group table.and coming away with all the recipes to try at home and the comforting knowledge that nothing is too hard.like making your own spices, straining yoghurt and making Ginger juice for a pilaf.along with meeting new people.such a perfect way to spend a few hours. Looking forward to more of that!

So much fun! I was gifted a class at Relish Mama and was a little nervous because I had never been to a cooking class before and do not fancy myself very good in the kitchen! I was so pleasantly surprised and delighted with the experience! As soon as we walked in my mind was put to ease as we were sat around a communal kitchen bench and given a glass of sparkling! The whole class was a very fun, relaxed, no-pressure environment (perfect for a beginner like me!). First we watched as Caroline talked us through a meal whilst she cooked it. During this time if you wanted to volunteer for a few tasks you could but not everyone had to do something, I thought this was good because people who were keen to be involved and hands-on from the beginning were able to, whereas if you were happy to listen and watch you had that option too! I learnt so much about different ingredients, how to prepare them, cook them and even how to maximise the length of time different sauces and mixtures would last in the fridge. The second half of the class we split into groups between 2-4 and each group prepared a recipe. Whenever you had a question Caroline was more than happy to answer and help you out (with no judgement!)
There was a mix of all ages in my class and everyone was super friendly. At the end of our cooking we all sat down together and tried a bit of each recipe that had been prepared. Everything was marvellous and super tasty! Thank you for a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back again!

Also thank you to the lovely hosts, everyone involved was just so friendly and made us feel very welcome!

For someone like me who isn’t overly confident in the kitchen, the Vegetarian in the style of Ottolenghi class I attended last weekend was better than I could have imagined. Firstly the decor is simply gorgeous with beautiful little curios, twinkling fairy lights, natural timbers and the most functional and welcoming kitchen.
Our intrepid teacher Catherine was awesome, funny, inclusive, welcoming, informative, supportive and simply a joy to be around. Her innate love of food and cooking shone through in everything she did.
The time was so well organized and the girls on clean up duty were fabulous (smiling all the time). Time went so quickly and before I knew it we were all enjoying the most delicious and beautiful lunch that we had created as a group.
I can highly recommend Relsh Mama for all levels of cooking experience.and for a novice like me to say I’ll be back is the best testimonial I can give!
Thank you for a really fabulous day:)

'Relish mama' - not just a cooking school but to me it seemed like this is the place to be introduced to real art of saving and retaining flavors for long times.
Immaculate presentation of cooking various jams, marmalade, jelly, preserves and more by Caroline.
Looking forward to attending more classes in future. Highly recommend.

I love Pho and there always seemed like there was something missing with my stock. Tips and tricks from Quyen have made me understand what it was. I’m looking forward to creating prawn skewers, Vietnamese pancakes, creme caramel and of course Pho with all the condiments.
Thank you Relish Mama for a wonderful afternoon of food.

What a wonderful experience we had at Relish Mama! From the minute you walk up the stairs it’s like stepping into someone’s home, with a lovely glass of sparkling on arrival to top it off. So inviting and welcoming we actually wanted to move in! Rob kindly gave me (Ali) a voucher to attend a cooking class and I’m so glad he did; joined by my friend Sue we attended the Middle Eastern Vegetarian Class last Saturday. Nellie you are a true inspiration and I can’t thank you enough for opening up your ‘home’ and sharing your knowledge with such passion. Being able to listen, watch, learn, create, then enjoy ensured we had a great day. Many thanks too to lovely Sally for your friendliness and assistance which added to the experience. Highly recommend Relish Mama to those looking for a cooking class that goes over and above.

Thank you to you all.

Arrival at a factorette it is a delight to go up the stairs and discover a wonderful cosy kitchen space. With a long dining table, great ingredients and cookbooks to purchase after the class it certainly doesn’t disappoint.
Quyen who took our Pho class was very friendly, informative and created a great atmosphere for fun, laughs, tastings and cooking.
Would recommend Relish Mama highly for any of the classes.

I recently did the Midweek inspirations class. I enjoyed the way the classes were run, & the size of the group. It was a good combination of listening & watching (picking up some good tips from Nellie), along with getting involved in making a dish as well. Plus it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed that class so much that I then did the Spanish paella & tapas class a few days later. That was fabulous as well. I'm not a great cook, & I don't really enjoy being in the kitchen, but I'm looking forward to trying out some of these recipes at home. Nellie has inspired me to have a go!

I have now attended four classes at Relish Mama and again, I was not disappointed. The Hands On Pasta Making class was great. We enjoyed making the pasta and the sauces and then sharing them together when they were cooked. The small class size allows everyone to participate equally, and the atmosphere is most enjoyable. Wonderful staff and wonderful teachers. I can thoroughly recommend Relish Mama Cooking Classes. Congratulations Nellie Kerrison, your school is amazing ️

Wonderful relaxing place to learn new skills and eat delicious food. Nellie and her team are incredibly generous and passionate about sharing their love of fabulous food.

Bubbles on arrival, a homely feel and an impressive array of delicious dishes. Would have been a worthwhile experience even if you weren't being taught all of these fantastic skills! Highly recommended, especially as a present.

I attended the Middle Eastern Vegetarian class last weekend. We prepared.cooked and ate a full feast of nibbles, entrees, mains and dessert. Nellie explained everything well (including other methods and uses of the ingredients that were used), and the recipes were easy to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to making these tasty dishes again and again.

Another Great experience at Relish Mama! I can’t wait to visit again soon. The classes are super professional and easy to follow. The team are super friendly and what a beautiful space to visit. Nellie and team, you do a fantastic job, the feast was beautiful! Thankyou!

I've attended 2 cooking classes with Nellie and had the best experience. It's more than just a cooking class- it's an amazing journey. The night starts with a glass of bubbles, Nellie then starts demonstrating the entrees and a couple of us get to pitch in, she then shows us some key techniques for the main, while we enjoy the entree and we all then break into groups and start making the main/dessert. Nellie and her team are always walking around to check on us, show us how to do things and answer all our questions. The best part is we all get to sit together at the end and enjoy all the food that we made. I cannot recommend Relish mama highly enough. Looking forward to more classes!

What a great way to spend a few hours. 4 of us did the Curries of the world, and found the evening entertaining, informative and delicious! Well done Nellie, we'll be back (probably for the BBQ one!)
