Children's Cookery Classes in South East London

Cook Stars offer a range of fun, relaxed and friendly cookery and craft classes. We encourage a love of good food and teach children and teens how to prepare delicious meals from scratch.

By its very nature cooking is great fun for children! Our classes keep kids engaged and interested throughout with both cookery and arts/crafts at each class. 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!

Cook Stars Minis (age 2-5)
Our mini’s are encouraged to get stuck in and try out weighing, measuring, kneading, whisking and stirring and cook a huge variety of yummy dishes.

Cook Stars Juniors (5-11)
Every week we make something different with inspiration taken from dishes around the world using a selection of gorgeous sweet and savoury ingredients. Classes are centred around fun and enjoyment, but our children also learn important practical life skills and healthy eating messages along the way.

Cook Stars Academy (age 11-17)
We teach a huge array of amazing main courses and delicious puddings using a variety of techniques to build confidence in the kitchen week on week. Every week we cook something different with a mixture of main courses and puddings.

Why not book a trial taster class!

We also host memorable parties for children of all ages either at your home or chosen venue. We offer a range of party packages or bespoke parties and both 'cooking' and 'non-cooking' options. We will take care of everything so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the occasion too.

"Wow wow.....had my daughter's party today and it was amazing. All the kids loved it. Both girls from cook stars were brilliant and made the party. Cannot recommend these guys enough. Hermione's words "best birthday ever"!

Open Classes – Weekends and Holidays

The Best Club ever!!!! That’s how my daughter describes Smart Raspberry Cookery School. The Saturday morning and holiday clubs have taught my daughter how to cook a vast array of sweet and savoury dishes, which has increased her confidence and taught her to be responsible around the kitchen. The recipes are easy to follow and so good I have actually continued to use them myself, definitely recommended!!” Rachel Foreman, Parent

Workshops in Schools

“We recently worked with Smart Raspberry for our discovery week. Our theme was Mind, Body and Soul. We were given amazing options for our cooking class and they were able to work with our date and time constraints. In the end, we chose smoothies and a noodle salad. All of the students choose the cooking class as a highlight of their week. The food was delicious and many students reported later that they had made them on their own at home. Overall a great success. The end result included happy and full students! Highly recommend!” Mercedes Savage, ACS Hillingdon International School

Parties

“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
