Our Kitchen Survivors courses are designed to suit many people, especially young adults leaving home for the first time, having to experience cooking for themselves and surviving on a budget and those past the student stage who would like to understand the basics.

For students there are two one-off courses to choose from. Each course covers the basics of how to eat well within a budget and will provide some handy hints on food hygiene. There is plenty of practical experience too, as each student will get the chance to cook popular dishes for themselves.

Courses are available during June, July and September and currently run in East Sussex and Kent. All equipment, ingredients and literature are included in the costs, so there is nothing else to provide. Cookies Kitchen also offers gift vouchers, meaning these courses could be a perfect send off present for students preparing for college or university.

Basic Survival Course
One day course from 10am to 1pm, covering topics such as shopping on a budget, ensuring you get your 5 a day, basic food hygiene, tips for quick meals, hands-on meal preparation and all supporting literature, including recipe sheets. Cost - £60 per person

Enhanced Survival Course
Two day course (day 1:10am to 1pm, day 2: 10am to 2pm) covers all topics included in the basic survival course plus additional practical hands-on cookery and off-site supported supermarket visits.
Cost - £180 per person

For the inexperienced cook we can tailor make a course that will suit your needs. Please contact us to discuss your individual requirements.

Following the success of our children’s cookery clubs, parents and friends requested something for them. We received all sorts of enquiries from people looking for straightforward adult tuition, and as a result, we launched Practical Kitchen.

Practical Kitchen provides no-nonsense, down to earth tuition for adults of all abilities. All levels of experience are catered for, including beginners who’d like to become confident in the kitchen, busy mums who are keen to extend their knowledge, right through to experienced cooks looking to stretch themselves still further.

Each session is run by qualified, experienced chefs and offers practical, hands-on tuition in small groups. Ingredients and equipment are provided.

Courses are planned around demand, so if there’s something in particular you would like to learn, let us know and we’ll see if we can include it.

If you’re interested email practicalkitchen@cookieskitchen.co.uk to see what’s on offer or tell us what skills you would like to develop.

Prices will vary depending on session content.
