Children's Cookery Classes in Buckinghamshire

Extra-Curricular Classes - In Schools

Our clubs are hands-on, fun, and educational, giving children the chance to develop cooking skills, confidence, and independence in a supportive setting.

With a catalogue of four years’ worth of recipes, children make something new every week - switching between savoury and sweet dishes - while mastering essential kitchen skills like weighing, chopping, creaming, and kneading.

What’s included for the children:
A recipe prepared each session
All ingredients provided, including dietary substitutions (gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.)
Aprons to borrow
Laminated recipe card with a healthy message
Packaging to take their creations home

“Such a popular extracurricular activity, extremely well organised; they are run by dedicated, enthusiastic staff who are educating our children in cookery skills and widening their horizons! First Class!” Rob Harmer, Headteacher at St Marys School, Henley-on-Thames

School Holiday Workshops

Are you looking for a fun and educational activity for your child during the holidays? Look no further! Our holiday workshops are designed to inspire young cooks while having fun in the kitchen.

Guided by our friendly and experienced Smart Raspberry cookery teachers, children will gain valuable skills in food preparation, cooking techniques, kitchen safety and of course presenting their dishes nicely. Our workshops are often themed recipes from a particular country, season, festival or occasion and are age appropriate. We have regular breaks throughout the day and offer additional activities such as colouring in, foodie quizzes and games especially for the younger age groups. At the end of the day, everyone can take their creations home to impress friends and family with their new found skills

“My daughter had the Smart Raspberry cupcake party for her 8th birthday. It was fantastic and all the girls loved it – the cake making, the icing (with an animal theme) and eating the final product! One of her friends needed an egg-free version and her Mum said they were the best egg-free cakes she had ever tasted! I would thoroughly recommend Smart Raspberry for an exciting and hassle-free party” Karen, Parent

We provide all ingredients, cooking equipment, an apron, a craft activity, packaging and cooking know-how. Everyone takes home their lovely dish along with a recipe card to cook again at home.

Every class offers plenty of hands-on experience of preparing different dishes each week, exploring a variety of ingredients, trying out delicious new foods and having lots of messy fun in the process!
