Wonderful morning cooking fresh Indian food
I did the Jericho to Jaipur cooking class early December and had a fantastic time learning to cook butter chicken, onion bhaji and naan bread from scratch. The food was fresh and delicious. The class focus on the practical and the instructor gave us lots of useful tips. I would recommend whether you are a beginner or a seasoned cook.

Dear Lai, Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review! It is always so rewarding that all the things we try to do in classes comes across - tips, balancing the teaching to different levels within the room and that the ingredients we use are the best quality from local producers. Thank you again Lai, much appreciated. Warm regards Em & the team x
You have to try Jericho Kitchen
I had a fantastic experience with Jericho Kitchen. They run an impressive range of courses, so it was easy to find something that matched my cooking interests.
Emma's communication was excellent from start to finish. The location was easy to find and reach.
The class was led by Marcia, who has incredible knowledge of Mexican cuisine. She was engaged, excellent at answering questions, and sharing her cooking skills.
A big thanks to Emma and her fantastic team for delivering an exceptional experience.
I’ll be back for more!

Dear Gary,
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. I’m truly delighted to hear that the things we care most deeply about- and work hard to share - came across so clearly.
I’m so grateful we first met in our local coffee shop and that, since then, you’ve become part of our journey. Being able to share good food, good company and a love of all things food with people like you is exactly why we do what we do.
Here’s to 2026 and many more opportunities to continue all of these amazingly positive things! Emx

Dear Antony - wow John and his class really made an impression on this group which is amazing! It was lovely to have a group of people who all got on so well and pleased that the pitch that we try and give hit the spot in terms of learning in a relaxed and fun way. What is even better is that you both will be returning to us again, thank you. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Em & the team x
An Excellent Asian food Workshop!
I've just finished a wonderful Indian cookery workshop called FROM JERICHO TO JAIPUR and it was so exciting. I learnt so much about Asian techniques and ingredients, and also about all the different spices involved, some of which were completely new to me. John, our teacher, was clear and friendly, and kept us all on track regarding all the different processes. So much fun - and the end result was absolutely
delicious! I can't recommend this cookery School highly enough!

Pie workshop
I attended the Pie workshop and had a great time, learning how to make shortcrust pastry and some very tasty fillings. Emily the instructor was fantastic and Emma and her crew were so helpful. Would definitely recommend and look at doing another course.

Emily's Perfect Pies class
I attended a cookery class with 4 friends “Emily's Perfect Pies class on Saturday.29th November. We were all made very welcome.

Vietnamese Street food class
I recently attended the Vietnamese Street Food class led by John Fernandez with my daughter as a birthday gift. We learnt a lot, had a very enjoyable time, and ended up eating some lovely food. Emma and the team ensured that those with allergies were sensitively catered for. Thank you!

Excellent cookery classes.
Very well organised cookery class. Tuition from Ursula Ferringo really excellent - inspiring and helpful. All ingredients and utensils are provided and as the cookery proceeds, the Jericho staff clear up as we go. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable experience that I have no hesitation in recommending.

Weekend cookery lesson
We were a small group of 6, working in pairs. The teacher was great at explaining things, but there was a bit of wsiting around. Lovely food, however - we ate most of what we made! Good as a present for Xmas?

Dear Sam, Thank you so much for your email and I am glad you think that John is a great teacher because we do to! Thank you for suggesting that our classes would make a good Christmas present - they are very popular. Unfortunately with the class that you attended there will always be a little of waiting for things to cook and they need to be watched so we can't change that I but it is a very small part of the class! Warm regards Em & the team x
Wonderful place to come for developing your cooking skills
John and Emma were fantastic. Seriously worth a visit as it’s just great for learning some interesting recipes that are easy and you will definitely make again.

Cooking On Fire !
Last weekend I joined the Cooking on Fire class led by John Fernandez and supported by Em and the team. It was great fun and I learned a lot - from making and maintaining a fire, to cooking steaks, preparing dips and making flatbread, as well as creating wonderful vegetable dishes. John was very attentive, patient, knowledgeable and fun. I would highly recommend.

If you like middle eastern food, you'll love this experience!
I have recently done the Taste of the Middle East class with Niki Webster. My fourth class with Jericho Kitchen. As always, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I learned so much. The beauty of these classes is that you fit so much into just 3 hours, mainly because a lot of the time-consuming prep is done for you, and then you get to eat it all at the end with the rest of the group! I think it's great value for money. And you meet a lot of interesting like-minded people. I have already signed up for the next one!

Pasta making workshop
The pasta making workshop with Úrsula Ferrigno was thoroughly enjoyable. It was a fun, hands on experience with lots of useful tips and ideas to take home. Getting to enjoy the pasta with the other participants at the end was the cherry on the top. Thank you Úrsula, Emma and the team!

A Masterclass in Expiring Vouchers
Regrettably, my partner’s £130 gift voucher for a cooking class was rendered worthless after a mere six months, per their policy. No goodwill gesture, no refund, no willingness to honour the booking—just an impeccably courteous refusal.

Dear Minqi,
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry the outcome was not what you were looking for. Our vouchers are valid for 6 months and as long as the recipient books their class before the expiry date, the class can be after that date, so usually there is a full 12 months of choice. This is clearly stated on our website and at the point of purchase.
Your voucher expired 2 months ago. It is just a shame that you didn't get in touch earlier, as we do try to be flexible if a customer just misses the expiry date. I'm afraid a line has to be drawn somewhere.
Em & the team
What a fantastic course!
Wow, what an incredible day we’ve just had! My mum and I did the ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’ course with Ursula, and it was simply fantastic. We felt so welcomed by all the team, and Ursula is so knowledgable and really inspirational - and the food was delicious! We can’t wait to make these recipes at home, and to book on to another course soon - thank you Emma and all at the Jericho Kitchen 😊

Beautiful Italian vegetarian cookery
Last Saturday, I enjoyed a really fun, informative and delicious Italian vegetarian course with Ursula. She was such a lovely person, really helpful and passionate about the amazing food and techniques. I came away full, and fired up to make my own pasta and combine flavours I hadn't realised I liked before.

Dear Maxine - thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, as we always say it really helps us to share what the experience is like to people who are thinking about booking with us. I think Ursula's classes this weekend had a particularly wonderful energy and we have had nothing but such wonderful feedback - I have passed them all on to her as she never takes its it for granted the joy she gets from teaching and more so when people really engage and continue to replicate at home what they have learnt in the class. Have you made pasta again yet?! I am making some for dinner tonight!! Thank you again Maxine, Em & the team x
A perfect gift
I had such a lovely morning making tapas in The Cart. My experience was gifted to me and it proved a perfect present. I would advise anyone considering a course to ‘go for it’. I was on my own but did not feel it once I arrived. It was such a relaxed atmosphere in a lovely setting with a friendly group of people and a very understanding tutor. It was so well organised, too, not least behind the scenes. The recipes are delicious and are certainly things to repeat at home. My thanks to everyone involved for making me feel so welcome.

Dear Amber, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a heart warming review. I feel so happy that you arrived and felt welcomed. As someone who is not particularly confident myself I know what it is like to go to something on your own and it can be a little overwhelming. However, I know from other establishments that if the welcome is warm and friendly it immediately relaxes you so that makes me feel so happy that we made you feel relaxed and welcome. Marcia is particularly reassuring too which helps! Keep making Tapas and stay in touch - what a wonderful weekend was had by our guests and us! Thank you Em & the team x
Great tapas experience!
A great Sunday morning spent learning about and making Tapas! The Cart Shed venue was great, a gorgeous setting with on site parking. I really appreciated the relaxed vibe, quality of expert knowledge and ingredients and most of all, learning recipes I can genuinely make at home for the family - thank you!
