Our teenage classes are suitable for young people:

Grow Cook Enjoy Teenage classes are taught by a professional Chef. We use a ‘skills based’ method of teaching rather than particular style of recipe. This means that students can use the skills and adapt them to attempt any recipe.
Our online Classes allow students ask questions as they cook along, they can change the recipe to suit what ever they like to eat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available as well as recipes to suit a particular dietary need, such as coeliac, dairy free or egg free.
Above all Teenagers are cooking a family meal each week! If you are completely new to cooking you may like a few private classes to learn a few basics and boost confidence, then combine this with our online course. Get in touch for more details.
Classes are for all abilities whether gaining skills to equip you for flying the nest off to uni or just starting your cooking adventure. Please scroll down to see the schedule.

“My 14-year-old son decided to do Food Tech for GCSE, but was woefully unprepared. I enrolled him onto an intensive week-long class with Grow, Cook, Enjoy & the transformation was incredible. Jayne packed in an amazing amount every day and covered many different areas of cooking, so his culinary skills & knowledge improved beyond recognition. He learnt a wide range of recipes and covered many different techniques, resulting in a greater confidence in the kitchen and a huge enjoyment of cooking overall. His school teacher couldn’t believe the transformation & even used him recently as a role model for the younger students”

Kind words
“I did Jayne’s cooking club as my skill for my D of E. Every other week we would go and she would teach us a recipe, we would work in small groups and it was really beneficial for my cooking skills and as part of my Duke of Edinburgh.
It was lots of fun and I really enjoyed myself.”
“When my son said he wanted to learn how to cook for his new skills section of his Duke of Edinburgh scheme, I Grow Cook Enjoy taught the basics of how to cook rather than just how to follow a recipe. I was actually really surprised at how inspired a teenage boy could be. He really did cover a lot. It was worth every penny, thank you.”
