Join Dan for a British cooking class in his Edwardian home in Muswell Hill, just 30 minutes from central London. You'll learn to cook simple British classics before sitting down to enjoy a delicious home-cooked dinner. Choose from three menus: a London tasting menu, the best of British classics, or dishes enjoyed by the British royal family. In your 1–1.5 hour hands-on London cooking class, you’ll prepare three dishes from scratch (please note, pastry dough is pre-bought). For example, the London tasting menu includes favorites such as scotch eggs, beer-battered fish and chips, and mini beef wellingtons. Start with an aperitif and nibbles, then share the meal you’ve helped create.

This authentic London food experience in a local home is filled with stories, history, and insider knowledge, leaving you with a deeper connection to British cuisine and memories to cherish forever.
