They say too many cooks spoil the broth.

In some cases (yours) it takes just one.

The Kitchen — a cookery school run by Michelin-starred chefs — will give your palate a much needed rest from baked beans on burnt toast. Simply book in, choose a meal from the seasonal menu, and The Kitchen will provide step-by-step instructions and all the ingredients (washed, peeled, chopped and measured) with which to make it.

Swap rubbery meat and bland soup for free-range Thai chicken curry, fresh king prawn skewers or organic smoked fishcakes with homemade ketchup.

With teachers this good, you’ll be happy to make a meal of it.
