Food is precious
At the Natural Cookery School we’re conscientious in our approach to cooking and our use of ingredients. We use foods that have been minimally processed – whole grains, fresh local produce and organic ingredients.
We run our plant based cookery classes from our new beautiful culinary space in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. Even though we travel to cater events throughout the Cotswolds it’s lovely to have a base after being a mobile cookery school since 2007.
Our recipes are always vegetarian, mostly plant-based and adaptable for gluten-free, dairy-free or sugar-free diets. All requirements can be carefully catered for.
All Upcoming Cookery Classes
Natural Cookery School founder, Erin Baker, teaches a variety of vegan and vegetarian cookery classes at her state of the art kitchen in Nailsworth, near Stroud, Gloucestershire.
