Great informative and fun day
What a great informative and fun day. Ursula was more than helpful throughout and was well supported by Emma and Kitchen staff. The group was friendly and our final food productions were worth the effort. Learnt a lot on kitchen practice and not just about recipes. I hope to attend another course at some point.

Dear John, Oh, thank you so much! What a lovely review to read.
It was such a pleasure to have you with us, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the day. One of the things we love most is sharing those little kitchen tips and techniques that make cooking at home easier and more enjoyable, so it's wonderful to hear that you took those away as well as the recipes.
I'll make sure Ursula sees your kind words too – she'll be absolutely delighted and please do come back and visit us! Love Em & the team x
I took an excellent class on Greek…
I took an excellent class on Greek cooking last weekend. The teacher, Ursula, is very engaged and picked recipes that yielded great results without too much effort. I also appreciate them working with local suppliers and seasonal ingredients, and being mindful of their impact.

Dear Johannes, Thank you so much for your review. What I love about this review is that you agreed with our passion for the quality of the food that we use and as importantly where it is from. I strongly believe even if one person in a class connects with this that we can make a change in how people shop and get real joy from eating and cooking from scratch. We hope to see you again in the future. Em & Ursula x

Ahhh Michael, thank you so much for your review, we had such a fun time with your group, It was so nice to see more men in the kitchen for a change! I know that Ursula enjoyed the exchanges during the class and felt that everyone produced excellent results for first attempts - especially your Fougasse!! Well done. I hope that you have recreated the panisse successfully for your wife?! Do come back and see us again, thank you Em & Ursula x
Fantastic afternoon of cookery
We had a fantastic afternoon learning to cook dishes from the beautiful city of Bologna.
Ursula's passion for her craft shone through, and she made sure that our piadine flatbreads, pasta, and amaretti were delicious! She wears her immense knowledge lightly, but she is an astonishingly talented chef.
We used lovely fresh ingredients, in line with the school's Slow Food ethos, and Emma gave great recommendations for local suppliers. The whole team was so friendly, and we enjoyed sharing a meal with everyone at the end.
This was a great present to receive, and I'd highly recommend it as a gift as well as an experience for yourself.

WOW thank you so much for this very thoughtful and detailed review! You didn't mention your name so I can't thank you personally but this kind of review means the world to us. You use the words passion, slow food ethos and local suppliers and then to finish it off highly recommend it. So everything that we are trying to put across onto of the actual cookery class is working!! Ursula will be as delighted as we are to receive this and I will make sure it is forwarded on to her so she can see it too. Thank you thank you with much love and gratitude Em & Ursula x
Gyoza making class
I attended the Gyoza making class, a gift for my birthday, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The welcome to the Cart Barn was very warm and welcoming. Rie our teacher was very friendly and helpful. There were 6 of us, just right for this sort of class. We all had our own area to prep and cook. Everything was very informal and relaxed. I would definitely recommend this class and would attend another one myself.

Dear Karin,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review.
I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed your birthday experience - and I imagine the person who gifted it to you will be just as pleased. It’s always lovely to know a special occasion has been well spent.
I’m also glad you appreciated the smaller class size. While most of our sessions are usually a little larger and often involve working in pairs, it’s wonderful to hear that this format suited you and added to your experience. We always aim to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere - we truly believe there should be joy in the world, and food is one of the greatest ways to bring people together.
Thank you as well for any recommendations you may share. Word of mouth means a great deal to us and is by far our most valuable form of support. With warmest thanks and gratitude,
Em & the team x
A totally stunning morning …
What a fantastic morning learning some really wonderful new dishes - Korean! With a tremendous chef and amazing back stage team making the whole event run smoothly.
The location and surroundings just made the experience extra special.
I also came away with some new techniques which will help me no end.
I would definitely recommend Jericho Kitchen to anyone as a treat or just treat yourself.

Fun and inspiring afternoon!
We had such a lovely afternoon creating masterpieces, beautifully guided by Ursula! She was so engaging, enthusiastic, encouraging and inspiring, it was great fun and we took plenty of food home for later too! We were part of a really friendly group of students and it was the perfect birthday present!

Dear Helen, Well I knew from all the staff that they thought the customers on this class were all lovely and all got on so well with lots of happiness and laughter around the room but it is lovely to know that you felt it too. Ursula is very special to us and I love that her passion for food is conveyed so well to so many people. Life should be about love, laughter, happiness and great food then we would all be ok!! Thank you once again for being part of such a wonderful group of people that afternoon spreading joy to our team. Em x

Dear Brian, Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a review after your Mexican class at the weekend. It is very important that we reflect and improve after each event and your email was very helpful and in more depth and we have responded separately. Many thanks Em & the team x
Lovely cooking school!
I booked the Japanese street food class as a Christmas present for me and my sister and we both loved it! The location is lovely and the class feels professional but relaxed with tea and coffee available and a nice sized class. Our teacher Rie was loved and so friendly and helpful and the food we made was delicious! Would definitely recommend, especially as a gift.

Great experience
The cookery class was very relaxed, I have learned many tricks and John (the chef) was lovely and always helpful. The recipes that we cooked were great and I am definitely going to try them at home! I also had a lovely time eating with all the other people in the class.

Dear Giada, Thank you so much for writing a review for us on John's class last weekend. It is really important to us that recipes and equipment are super simple so they can be recreated at home. We think that information about ingredients and tips for making cooking easier are really important. Sitting down together and chatting at the end of the class is a social occasion that we are missing out more and more so it is a great joy to do this each week! I hope that you try and make some of the dishes and they are even more delicious with more and more practice. Thanks again Giada. Em & the team x

We work hard to provide something that is really special, not just a cookery class but also helping local producers whom we purchase from or employing people from the surrounding area - it is all positive and all very much appreciated. If you have any questions at all then please do stay in touch. Thank you again, with love Em & the team x
Very enjoyable cookery course
I really enjoyed my half day cookery course on Marrakesh cookery. The venue was very attractive and everything had been laid out ready for us to cook. The ingredients were very fresh and good quality, sourced from sustainable sources. There was good attention to food hygiene throughout. The group I was with were very friendly, the chef/instructor was clearly passionate about authenticity and he explained things clearly. The food was delicious and I learnt not only about how to cook Marrakesh style food but also gained many handy tips about how to prepare food. I would recommend this fun experience to others.

Knowing that you enjoyed the class, learnt new recipes and appreciated the ingredients that we source means the world. I am on a mission to let people know about all things food that I have the privilege to have access to. Whether it is vegetables from Worthy Earth, Mushrooms from Tumblebug or the most exquisite olive oil from Guiseppe at Ogglio - once tasted you have to share far and wide!

Me and my partner signed up for the 'A taste of the Middle East' class with Niki. Neither of us are particularly confidant cooks but we had fun learning the recipes along with the group. We achieved a lot in the space of three hours at a relaxed pace and got to enjoy all dishes together at the end. Niki and the team were very supportive and I highly recommend signing up for a class!

Dear Megan, what a lovely review to receive and I will certainly pass this on to Niki. We try very hard to pace classes in a way that people learn in a hands on way but also feel relaxed and enjoy the experience. I hope that you have maybe recreated the dishes too! Experimenting at home in a more relaxed way is the best way! If you have any questions then please let us know. We are always on hand to answer them - this is only the start of the journey with us and food, we hope!! Thank you again Megan. Love Em & the team x
Taste of Marrakesh cookery class
I bought the Taste of Marrakesh cookery class as a gift for my daughter, and I am so pleased I joined her! A delightful class, three delicious recipes, good honestly produced food ethos, and passion and knowledge about food far beyond my expectations! I have thoroughly enjoyed the chat and meal afterwards, and, thanks to John's clear, down to earth, structured teaching, I have taken away practical skills and understanding, alongside the 3 recipes, that I will use in my kitchen and cooking. I will certainly be employing the services of a ... Geoffrey from now on!!! Emma offered a wealth of information on ethically sourced food. Her passion for honestly locally produced ingredients is inspiring and infectuous! Everyone in the Cart Shed was welcoming and helpful. Thank you all. I will be looking to book future events and will be recommending the Jericho classes to friends/family.

Gosh thank you soooo much for such an amazing review of your class on Sunday!!! It really does make me so happy that our passion comes across in a non preachy way and appeals to people on a level that means that hopefully small changes will join all the dots to become big change - less supermarket food and more locally grown and sustainable food chains. Hopefully you can make contact with Dummer Down Worthy Earth - let me know if you need any more info about that and thank you both so much for coming along and having a really good time!! Hope to see you again and thank you for recommending - word of mouth is the most powerful positive! With love Em & the team x

My wife and i did the Jericho Kitchen Cookery School vegetarian mezze feast class. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A great teacher in Nikki, and everything ran very smoothly.

Dear Colin, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review on your Knife Skills class with John. It is so important that we impart not only skills but our ethos about great quality food and buying as much as you can not from supermarkets but from local producers. Chopping and creating dishes from all the different cuts you learnt is, we think, the best way! Soooo happy you left feeling happy with the class. Hoping to see you back again one day maybe! Em x
