Welcome to Looking to Cook, the only site on the Web that offers independent and comprehensive reviews of the best cookery schools and courses in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Our aim is to get you into the kitchen. Whether you’re looking for a smart weekend cookery course in a country hotel or an express lunchtime cookery lesson in the city, a longer professional culinary course at a well established academy or a specialist artisan chocolate-making class, Looking to Cook will help you to find the right one.
We want you to discover new culinary skills and take them home to share with friends and family. There are hundreds of exciting courses out there: try a taster for Lebanese cooking or Vietnamese cuisine; learn how to roll sushi, make upside-down pudding the right way up or fillet a fish properly.
Our team of experts has been visiting cookery schools for many years, and we know the right ingredients for a great experience. Use the search tool above to find the course for you.
