Popcorn Pantry Reviews 22

What a wonderful evening - so enjoyed this relaxed, fun and informative cooking class run by the lovely Anna. So exciting to be taught to make pasta by talented Masterchef Professional Georgia too. A fab evening with my daughter - a great birthday present. Would highly recommend!

Great recipes, brilliant teachers and a lovely ambience created by Anna and her co-cook Georgia. Cannot recommend Popcorn Pantry highly enough.

What a fun evening Anna and her team laid on for us. As a group of 50+ year old chums we could be an unruly bunch - perhaps worse than teenagers - Anna and masterchef Georgia kept us focused on the cooking, adding extra fun by making us compete as we prepared delicious Spanish recipes. Anna explained the techniques (who knew how to make a roux?) and there were new discoveries "croquettes don't have any potato in them!". For our Vermouth tasting, Anna has a mixture of red, white and non-alcholic varieties and taught us how the Spanish would drink them. Finally we all sat around a great large table to eat what we'd made. Thank you for a great evening.

I went to popcorn pantry with a group of friends. What a wonderful experience. Amazing food and Anna is a wonderful teacher. Fun, laughter and food - what could be better. An amazing venue (and Anna's home) and we came away with some food (my partner loved it) and a bunch of recipes. Can't wait to go again.

I had a fantastic evening with Anna and Georgia learning about tapas and vermouth. They were both full of information and great at hosting us. The kitchen was lovely, the class had a good balance of demonstration and hands-on practice. I learned a lot and the food we made was delicious. Thank you - I can highly recommend!

I loved coming to Anna’s Swedish Christmas cooking class with my boyfriend!

Anna is so warm and generous, and had chocolate cookies waiting for us on arrival.

In our 3 hour session, we made glögg (mulled wine with extra spice), gingerbread, and cardamom buns - going home with more than enough to feed a family of 4 for a week 🤣

We couldn’t resist tucking in on the way home, and everything we made was delicious. We also took some extra dough with us, to make even more cardamom buns tonight to share with friends and family.

Anna is a great teacher, she always explains things so clearly - and had a great schedule to make sure we always had something to do during the baking time, without feeling rushed. We also got a copy of all the recipes to take home with us.

I’d wholeheartedly recommend Popcorn Pantry to someone looking to brush up on their cooking/baking skills, or just for a fun activity!

I attended the adults pasta and spritz making class and had a wonderful time. Both Anna and Georgia were absolutely fantastic and the class was planned to perfection with the perfect mix of fun and instruction. I came away with new skills but also new inspiration to cook and host. Anna's kitchen is beautiful and combined with Georgia's Italian experience it was such a treat. Would thoroughly recommend and I will be attending another adults class soon.

I did the adult cooking course - pasta and Prosecco - at popcorn pantry on Wednesday evening and it was so fun but also I learned a lot of new cooking techniques with an amazing guest chef from Milan. I now know how to cook pasta, 3 amazing sauces, focaccia but also how to make a proper apertivo spritz. I would thoroughly recommend- much better than going to a restaurant for a night out.

Really enjoyed my evening at Popcorn Pantry learning all about pasta and spritz making, Anna and Georgia managed to make the evening both highly educational and relaxed and fun at the same time. They both have a lot of knowledge and cooking skills to share and the highlight was sitting down to enjoy the food we had made together. Highly recommended!

Anna did an absolutely lovely pasta and spritz night. The evening was so much fun and we learnt not just how to make fresh pasta but how to make some of the best cocktails too! Georgia was also incredible teaching us all of the tricks she learnt in Italy! It was all topped off at the end when we got to sit down together and try what we made. All in all was a wonderful evening spent with a lovely group.

My son absolutely loved having his 10th birthday party with the Popcorn Pantry! Anna, and her team, were amazing from start to finish. All ten boys were fully immersed and loving it from start to finish. Given the party was the day before Halloween, Anna made it Halloween themed cooking - spooky and delicious! The party was educational and hugely enjoyable with ten very happy boys at the end!
(It was also the most relaxing party for my husband and I who enjoyed watching all the fun being had and got to eat some of the delicious foods being cooked too!) Thank you again, Anna!

I did the pre-university class and had a great time. Anna really helped make the recipes jump off the page and into the pot! The classes are carefully calculated, so that they are informative but do not feel like a “lesson”. I should note too that Anna was most accommodating of my being a vegetarian.

To cut a long story short, I now feel much less daunted by prospect of a kitchen. Thank you!

My step daughter joined a day's cookery course with Anna and loved it! She found it friendly and relaxed. She enjoys cooking and baking at home but loved the opportunity to learn new skills. I highly recommend!

My son took part in a two-day cookery course with Anna, in a small group of five — all either about to start university or looking for work. It was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Anna was incredibly patient and flexible with changing numbers and menu choices, and so accommodating throughout. The food was delicious, and amazingly, after just two days, my son is now cooking regularly for the families he nannies for. The course gave him huge confidence to plan and cook meals easily for all ages and group sizes. I can’t recommend Anna highly enough.

I would highly recommend Popcorn Pantry. The relaxed and practical approach to cooking that is taken in the classes has given my son's confidence a much needed boost before he heads off to university. The dishes he made and shared with us were delicious. Thankyou!

My son Fred did an amazing course with Anna at Popcorn Pantry. He learnt so much and managed to replicate it all for us at home. He is super keen to do another day very soon!

My 15 year old daughter loved her cooking lessons with Anna, and they worked well as the ‘skill’ for Bronze Duke of Edinburgh award. Anna is friendly and knowledgeable and makes the lessons fun, whilst teaching lots of useful skills for nutritious and delicious cooking. I certainly enjoyed sampling the finished products!

My 14 year old daughter did a Popcorn Pantry cookery class with a friend and had such an amazing time that I sent my 17 year old son to do a course a few weeks later. The classes are perfectly matched to the interests, tastebuds and abilities of the different age groups and include learning general kitchen skills in a fun and inspiring way. Highly recommend!

My son has been to two cookery courses with Anna at Popcorn Pantry and thoroughly enjoyed them both. Anna is an incredibly warm and welcoming person who has a love for cooking and wants to share this with those on her courses. I am now super keen to attend one myself. I can’t recommend more highly, you won’t regret it.
