This was such a wonderful experience! After a trip around Portobello Road market (where we learned about different cuts of meat, how to choose good fish, and more useful tips) we headed to the beautiful teaching kitchen, which has a lovely, comforting atmosphere. Despite being in a class of strangers, everyone was soon chatting to each other and there was no awkwardnessâsomething I was a little worried about beforehand!
We started cooking right away, beginning with antipasti and soon getting started on preparing our main courses. Although you're cooking as a group, you always have something to do and are never just standing around watching others have all the fun. The whole process was brilliant, with tons of advice offered throughout that can be applied to cooking beyond the recipes we made during the class.
Once everything was made we sat down to eat at the dining table. It was so nice to be able to share in what we'd made in such a friendly and comfortable setting, and not to brag but we made some very good food. I left feeling inspired to try new recipes, and to replicate some of the dishes we made at home.
Thank you to Charlotte and the team for such a brilliant day, and I hope to...
   Read moreI booked a cooking class for my 30th birthday after having tried the Enrica Rocca delivery service. Before I move the class - I must say the delivery service was fantastic. The food was so well packaged and easy for me to serve up. It was absolutely delicious. It was off the back of this I decided to book a cooking class. It was everything I thought it would be and more. Both Claire and Charlotte were so welcoming which added to my special day. Their communication skills were great and it was really easy for everyone in the group to follow instructions. Everyoneâs food turned out really well. And to top it off the quality of the wine provided was top notch - really added to the already buzzing atmosphere. My friends havenât stopped raving about it and a few of them have gone on to book classes for their work teams as a bonding exercises. Iâd love to go again so Iâll probably do the same. I would highly...

We've been to the Saturday course and a Sicilian supper club at Enrica Rocca and can't recommend them enough.
The class focuses on knowledge, attitudes and passion for food, rather than just delivering step-by-step instructions. The team are so natural and relaxed in their kitchen, which a wonderful and homely environment. More importantly, the food we made as a group was delicious. Though we have recreated most of the recipes at home, the individual tips and techniques have influenced our general cooking ever since. Free-flowing prosecco was a plus too!
The supper club was also a joy as you get to sit back and watch the team prepare amazing food for you. Naturally the conversation gravitates to food so I still felt that I learnt a lot too. I will keep returning to these wonderful evenings...
