Great Summer food, made easy

Welcome to Brook Hall Cookery School, which I opened after six years as Chef Director of the Raymond Blanc Cookery School at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons.  

Make the most of summer entertaining with our fantastic seasonal cookery classes:

Barbecue Cookery: Inspirational but easy dishes for outdoor entertaining, cooking on Weber's fabulous range of gas and charcoal barbecues.

Clever Cooking: Great recession-busting ideas for great food at low cost, using cheaper cuts of meat or fish with seasonal vegetables.

Cockburn's Summer Dinner Party: Cockburn's have joined us as sponsors of our Dinner Party courses. Look out for delicious, seasonal dishes for entertaining - starters, main courses and desserts - complementing their fine range of ports.

Italian 2, Meat & Poultry 2, Fish & Shellfish 2:  Second editions of our favourite couses, to give you more recipes to enjoy.

Brook Hall

Brook Hall, in Winslow, Buckinghamshire is a Grade II listed townhouse dating back to the 18th century. In its time, it has been a School for Young Ladies, an art gallery and a private residence.

Filled with period features, Brook Hall has recently been refurbished to incorporate the requirements of the cookery school and private entertaining within an informal and stylish family home:

• Two air-conditioned teaching kitchens specially designed by Underwoods and equipped by Neff and Aga
• Elegant drawing room & dining room seating 16 guests
• Separate meeting room facility for up to 20 guests
• Three spacious bedrooms available for residential guests
• A private, walled garden with large heated swimming pool
