Our nomadic style gives us the freedom to offer an exceptionally wide variety of courses, from basic pasta making to constructing glamorous gateaux with our experienced tutors. We all cook together (hands-on is our middle name), then we sit down to taste the fruits of our work, washed down by a glass of wine. Our style is informal, enjoyable, enthusiastic and full of delight in the pleasures of the home kitchen. Sophie Grigson’s Pop-Up Cookery School is for anyone who enjoys cooking with great produce and wants to share that experience with others.

WOLVERCOTE SUPPER CLUB
Saturday 7th December 2013, 7.45pm 
Wolvercote
£22.50 per person for five courses
North Oxford’s first – and brand-new – popup home restaurant, serving glorious food from around the world, for love not money. My popup’s for grown-ups who like food and intelligent company, and it’s run not-for-profit. I’m doing this not as part of a career path to super-foodie stardom- I’m simply keen to find a bunch of keen foodies to cook for without leaving my door! I charge enough to cover costs only, so you get amazing value for money. The idea is you come alone, with your partner, or with one or two friends, and encounter new and interesting people sitting at the table with you.
