What the proprietor says

Aldeburgh Cookery School is located on the east side of the High Street about fifty yards south of the cinema and nearly opposite the Lighthouse restaurant. Situated in the centre of town and only yards from the beach, the Aldeburgh Cookery School was once the town's police station. This lovely Victorian house has been converted to create a relaxed and professional environment. There is a state of the art kitchen with both modern and traditional equipment, a beautiful dining room in which to enjoy delicious meals and a small shop selling kitchen essentials, cookbooks, preserves, aprons and gift vouchers. A seminar room plus comfortable sitting room, where coffee, tea and cold drinks are always available, complete the premises.

We like to cook and eat only the best and freshest produce so we consciously adapt our courses to suit the seasons, buying from local suppliers and choosing organic whenever possible. Tides and weather permitting we walk to the beach and buy fish from the local fishermen.

During each course we discuss the buying and preparation of prime ingredients and, using both basic and intermediate techniques, we bake bread, fillet fish, joint game and generally chop, slice and whisk our way into a more complete understanding of not only how, but why recipes work.

All courses are taught using a wide range of domestic equipment and appliances but the aim of the school is to get you to touch, smell and taste the food using your hands as the prime tool. We want you to trust your instincts and so relax and enjoy time spent in the kitchen.

All dishes are prepared from raw and we try all the food that we cook. Meals are eaten at a leisurely pace sitting in our beautiful dining room, enjoying wines chosen to enhance the dishes.

All equipment including knives and aprons are provided and a full set of recipes is given at the end of each course.
