My first foray into an online class…

My first foray into an online class last night and it didn’t disappoint. Ursula is so enthusiastic and is always checking that you’re doing ok. The menu was perfect and the chocolate almond torte is not going to last very long! Thank you so much Ursula and Emma for a lovely Saturday evening. X

Super Italian Cookery lesson with Ursula Ferrigno

I’ve been of three excellent Italian Zoom cookery courses now led by the inspiring Cookery Tutor and celebrated cook book author Ursula Ferrigno.
Enjoyed all three sessions learning so much from the engaging and encouraging Ursula. She checks in on how your doing and encourages questions to help learning whether you are a kitchen novice or a competent cook looking to broaden an authentic Italian repertoire.
You receive a shopping list in advance and a detailed outline of each recipe.
It’s a packed full two hours call that lifts your spirits during these difficult times.
Check out Ursula’s cook books, they are equally superb .
Bravo to Ursula and the Jericho Cookery School, your ‘studenti’ love these Italian classes!

Great online cookery experience

I've done three online classes in lockdown with Jericho Kitchen and have enjoyed them all. I've come away with lots of great new recipes and nifty tips and tricks. It has been lovely to be able to 'do' a cookery class in lockdown. Both Ursula (Italian cookery) and Louise (cheese making) are passionate (and patient) teachers.

A complete Italian family meal with Ursula, on multi Zoom screens

As one of the lockdown-separated family who’ve just reviewed Ursula Ferringo’s online course I’ll add my wholehearted recommendation. I was the granny in the group, on my own in my kitchen on Zoom. Ursula was brilliant, making sure I’d kept up, reminding me to take my cake out of the oven, and always encouraging. Her enthusiasm kept us going and her wide experience was obvious. We only found out afterwards just how many cookery books she’s written. Very well organised by Jericho Kitchen. Thank you.

Private online class

Having been so long without seeing my famil, I organised a private class for us with Ursula. We were spread over 4 different homes, with different ranges of cooking abilities and preparing food for between 1-5 people in each house. Despite the complications this could have caused Ursula was relaxed, patient and made us feel like we were all just making a meal together. She chose the menu carefully so the ingredients were easy enough to get hold of at this time of year and at short notice. The recipes were actually beautifully simple.dishes, making the most of the natural flavours, and will become staple dishes for us for years to come, no doubt. It was a lovely way for the family to be together, as we carried on over zoom to eat our meal. Would definitely do it again.

I decided to take an online class on Fermentation since the foraging was cancelled due to Covid. What a smart decision! Justine is so knowledgeable and the atmosphere was great! I have already booked myself for the next one on Kefir and Kombucha! Thoroughly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful

Absolutely wonderful. This was my first class with The Jericho Kitchen Cookery School and it won't be my class. The atmosphere was relaxed but energised...a tricky thing to get right on Zoom. I learnt so much and the teacher, Justine, was a wealth of information...she felt like a friend I'd known for years. I can't wait to share a class with these guys when we're all able to be in the same room together but in the meantime I've got my next on-line classes already booked. Super value for money and I highly recommend exploring the fabulous classes The Jericho Kitchen Cookery School has on offer.

A great afternoon foraging and cooking over fire. Informative, fun and really tasty food and good company to boot! Great to learn what common plants we can find to use as flavourings and also how to manage a fire effectively.

Dear Stefan,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us! It was a fabulous class - we loved it too. As a business its the simple things nowadays that make all the difference to us. Just having people together around the fire laughing and enjoying themselves, after this year, made my year in terms of my business - thank you! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas, Emma, Justine and John x

Consistently good experiences

I've done a few classes with jericho. The instructors are all first rate. The classes have a nicely interactive structure, part demo, part hands on. Always lots of delicious food to take home. Some things have really stuck with me : Spanish seasoning, prep, probably the pastry course has lived with me longest. I've been flying since them. Strongly recommended, all levels are well supported by the tutors.

Dear Taryn,

Thank you so much for your review. It is so important to us to make sure our customers are happy with our service and product. We particularly loved this project! We started it months ago by foraging and harvesting things on the Nuneham Estate. It is so important to be local and sustainably and support local businesses too like Warborough Honey, Sarada from Shakitkitchen but also Little Bird Soaps and Kula Bags who are great ethical companies and a joy to work with!

More to come Taryn!!! Thank you and Merry Christmas Emma and Justine x

Dear Claire,
Thank you so. much for taking the time to leave us a review - it is so important to us that people enjoy their class. Ursula is amazing and her passion for all things Italian clearly showed to everyone! She hasn't taught with us in a year because of the lockdown so you really made her so happy too, which is lovely! Have you made any of the gifts again?! Have a very merry Christmas Claire, thank you Emma and Ursula x

I need a 6 star option

I need a 6 star option! What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
The food was delicious and will be fun (and possible) to replicate. Carolina’s famous tips may be life changing!!! Out with the garlic presser but in with the potato ricer!
Thank you Carolina and thank you Emma for offering this wonderful possibility in a safe and really fun way.
Only question is, which course next?!

Great new venue, expert tutors and a fun way to meet new people

Emma and her Team at The Jericho Kitchen School have now moved to the Nuneham Estate near Oxford. What a fabulous place. Today Carolina taught us how to make six tapas dishes and it was difficult to pick a favourite, they were all so good. Easy to copy at home, with everyday ingredients. Emma always finds expert tutors, and she and her team make the whole experience fun at every level. Highly recommended.

Dear Victoria,
I see that Trust Pilot have not taken down this reivew!!!! Your last review was equally as lovely but sadly removed for some reason.... It was lovely to see you again today after too long. I loved the fact that you felt comfortable and safe when you have been shielding for so long. As always Carolina's classes are full of information and fun alongside a very professional delivery. We are very lucky to have her and I hope that she will be spending more time, as you!, in our kitchens in 2021. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas Victoria and thank you for your support in 2020. Much love Emma x
