Fab girls Friday night making Gyoza…
Fab girls Friday night making Gyoza with Rie, Emma and the team. Surprisingly easy to make even from scratch. They tasted amazing. Would never thought to make them before. We all enjoyed it. This is my 2nd cookery course with the Jericho kitchen, 1st was Greek which was also fabulous and I’ve made the dishes a few times since. Whether you’re there on your own, a couple or a group of friends it’s a really fun sociable experience. Everyone is very friendly. Recommend.

Dear Jules, It was SO lovely to meet the three of you on Friday - what a bubbly top of the table you were!!! When our customers write heart-felt reviews we can really feel it so thank you. We love welcoming everyone. Keep doing the good work at the Oxford Animal Sanctuary - you are all the BEST Love Em x
Really enjoyable lesson
Really enjoyable lesson with 12 people in groups of 4, which worked really well. Excellent venue just off Iffley Road, easy to get to, but leave time for parking, which is difficult! The Sushi were easier to make than I expected, and Rie showed us useful techniques and was always on hand with advice.
Update: Yes, I made some more the next day to take to a party. They turned out really well! I added preserved ginger or wasabi to each one and everyone was really complimentary. I used fresh cooked prawns or Surimi as the main ingredients and even had success with the square omelette. Looking back, I realise that I probably couldn’t/wouldn’t have done this if I hadn’t been to your lesson. Highly recommend!

Dear Juliet - thank you so much for taking the time to write such a helpful review for others who might be considering coming to one of our classes in Oxford. It was our first class and we really enjoyed the venue. I have looked into the parking (thank you good point!) and there are 4 roads nearby with 2 hour parking until 6.30pm so perfect timing - Ridgefield Road, Hurst Street, James Street and Howard Street. So if you ever come back to us or recommend to anyone then it might be handy to have this info to hand! Thank you again Juliet and I hope you have made sushi again since last week?!!! Rie, Em & Ella x
What an amazing day

Pasta making with Love!
Thank you @EmmaCollen and @UrsulaFerrigno for a day of fun pasta making. The setting was perfect, the team were wonderfully loving and caring. My colleagues have already bought a pasta machine!

We booked a The Street Food of Naples with Ursula Ferrigno. What a fantastic day. Ursula was absolutely lovely and was so passionate about Italian ingredients and the food we were cooking. It’s contagious and I learnt so much new and interesting facts about the food I love! The tomato dish was unbelievable and we cooked squid and made a lovely homemade lemonade. Book a course, I’m going back!

Seasonal Supper Club
I attended Jericho Kitchen’s first seasonal supper club on 25 July. It was held in a beautiful barn conversion in idyllic surroundings in Wallingford. There was a great turnout and I met many interesting people from a range of backgrounds: I learned a lot from how to plant vegetables without digging to what is going on in state of the art medical technology. So it was nourishing for the mind but how about the food? It was a vegan feast and not what I would normally opt for as an ehthusiastic carnivore but it really broadened my horizons and got me thinking about changing my diet both for health and variety as well as all the sound environmental reasons. The freshness of the vegetables was the key and certainly made me wake up to what good vegan food can be. Last but not least our host Emma (and her team) led the festivities with zest and style helping create a buzz and good humoured atmosphere. I definitely urge all who have the opportunity to experience this special type of event to go for it as soon as possible and many times thereafter.

Dear Li Yu, Wow what a wonderful review of your evenings with us. It is very much appreciated when we get an indepth reasoning into why people loved the event that they attended.
The way we thought about this supper club was to bring people together around a long table and to discuss and be thoughtful about the food that was being served. Harrison at Worthy Earth is an inspiration to all he meets because he is so passionate about the quality of the vegetables but also wanting to encourage others to grow their own vegetables even if it is a few herbs in a window box - every little thing makes a huge difference!
We have another event on 6th October, this time with Ursula and it will be a Feasting Table of joy celebrating the autumnal harvest, again from Worthy Earth!, and we hope that this wonderful review will encourage more people to join later this year. Thank you again Yu Li with much gratitude Em & the team x
Tapas
We had a fantastic time celebrating my sister birthday. Sarah was an excellent and knowledgeable teacher, making the experience both fun and educational. Best of all was sitting down to enjoy the fruits of our labour, complete with plenty of wine and beer!

A birthday treat
We had a great morning learning to cook (and eat) some tasty Spanish tapas dishes with Sarah, who was so practical and inspiring. This has definitely given me the confidence to have a go at home. A lovely way to spend my birthday and I will be back to try other classes.

Dear Monica, Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. Knowing that you are going to keep the skills and love of Spanish food alive at home is wonderful news! It was a joy to have the 3 of you in the class. Em x
This is the second time we have done and so glad we did.
This is the second time we have done a cookery day. We love the enthusiasm of Ursula as she taught us so much. My personal highlight was learning to make pasta. It is so well organised, all equipment is provided and you get a delicious meal to share at the end. We also meet such lovely people on the course too. All the staff were so, so lovely. A great, great day.

Dear Wendy,
Our second amazing review from Saturday's class, thank you so much for taking the time to write something! We loved that class from the people, to the venue to the quality of the ingredients we were lucky to get at this time of year. It was the perfect storm!! We are extremely lucky to have Ursula on board with us and you are right, her enthusiasm never wavers and she gets such joy from knowing that people enjoy her classes, as do I! Keep making the pasta!! Thank you Emma x

Corporate event- Italian cookery class…
Corporate event- Italian cookery class session with Emma and Ursula
I arranged this session for our group of 24 as a team bonding event. The venue was Standhampton Village hall, a norman church, which is beautiful. Ursula's passion was contagious and the whole group just loved her. The recipes succeeded and the dinner was delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend Jericho Cookery School for a corporate event.

Dear Melda,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review of your event. We do pride ourselves on providing the best teaching possible but equally as much fun and joy which Ursula is extremely good at delivering!
Having reviews like this makes it more reassuring for potential clients to know that they are in extremely safe hands.

Generous Gyoza - sharing the love
The class I attended, gyoza with Yukiko was mostly spent chopping vegetables(!). However, Yukiko's great humour and radiant personality made the whole evening invigorating. She was quite clear about what to expect from the class, and shared tips, tricks, and jokes about the art of folding and eating gyoza. We even got a bit of history.
After the trouble I'd had booking a class with a voucher, when I went to pay the top-up amount, Emma told me I didn't need to, and could donate it to charity.
In order to share the Jericho Kitchen and lovely gyoza, I spent it on ingredients and made ~150 gyoza for my local community centre, which were hugely appreciated!
The venue was changed at the last minute to a small one, so if you are COVID wary I would not recommend this.

Vegetarian Italian with Ursula - Highly recommend!
My mum booked us onto the Vegetarian Italian class with Ursula as a Christmas present and it was just fantastic. Personally I was a little nervous that it might be a bit of an intimidating environment but I couldn't have been more wrong - the whole setup was so friendly and well-organised, and Ursula is possibly the most enthusiastic person I've ever met! We learned a lot and left feeling very inspired to try some new things. The mini feast at the end was the cherry on top!

Good morning Evie! Thank you so much for writing such a lovely review of your class with Ursula last week. It is always very difficult to put across how we hope our school feels but I know that this review will also then reassure others who might be thinking the same thing! Hope you are still recreating the dishes, I know I have!!! Thank you again Evie, Em x
Cooking course as a gift - thoroughly reccomend
I bought an Italian Vegetarian cookery course for a friends birthday and joined her on the course. It was really well organised, run with energy and passion and we learned lots of tips along the way.
The team communicated well and it was great energy, a good experience and the food was exceptional. Thanks team!

Experienced cook but felt redundant
I have just done the middle-eastern cookery session and I must say that for the price I did not do very much cooking. I did a lot of standing around. Some people were given more to do than others. I had expected to be preparing all the dishes mentioned and whilst the food was delicious, I was left feeling disappointed that I didn’t get to do very much.

Dear Juliet, Thank you so much for taking the time to send over your review, we always appreciate it when people take the time to do so! We do state on our website that you don't make every dish - for this the class would have to be about 5 hours long and a lot more expensive! Carolina takes the time to explain all the dishes and stops people when there are techniques to share with the group or a question that needs answering that might also be of interest to everyone as well as sharing lots of tips too. Expectations vary so much especially after the last 18 months and so far everyone has been so happy with the classes and enjoyed being back with the masses again we are just sorry you were disappointed. Hopefully you will be able to recreate the dishes at home and enjoy them as much as you did after the class! Warm regards Emma

I really enjoyed the evening
I really enjoyed the evening. Ursula was fantastic and her passion for all things Roman was very evident. She was extremely knowledgeable and I certainly learnt a lot. I would definitely book again. It might be nice to be able to chat to the fellow cooks as we were all from different places but I realise time is important. Thanks.
