The Avenue Cookery School
The Avenue Cookery School is a family-run leaning business based in Wandsworth in South West London. The owner and head chef Diana began her career as a chalet chef before discovering her entrepreneurial side and founding a number of specialist food ventures. Infamously, Diana taught at The Grange Cookery School in Somerset for 7 years before starting The Avenue, where she has been ever since.
Diana is supported by her son Richard and daughter Sophie.
The food at The Avenue can be considered classic chic but full of fun twists and turns (ranging from macaroon masterclasses to gluten free baking to simple supper classes). All the classes are taught in the school's beautiful kitchen facilities in a relaxed environment.

The glass was great, the cooking school is much nicer than other cooking schools I've been to with bunting on the ceiling and cute homey decor. We made a range of breads, learnt how to make bread at home and had a box to take away.

The Course was really informative and fun. Our instructor Diana made it seem effortless and also tought us various techniques and provided us with lots of tips all in a friendly warm environment.
I definitely recommend the Course and everything Diana might offer.

An enjoyable few hours spent learning about the art of breadmaking! Richard was very knowledgeable about all things doughy and gave clear demos of each of the different breads before we set about mixing and kneading ourselves. Boxes were provided to transport our delicious baked goods safely home.

Fun class with great tasting food. Could be improved by focusing explicitly on different knife skill techniques for different food items (i.e. vegetables, fish, meat) paired with each meal cooked rather than a general overview of cutting techniques at the beginning of the class.

I bought this ad a gift for my partner, he says “They were very friendly and very hands on with the advise and really keen to share what they knew and the food was excellent.”
He came home super excited and super full after an epic meal, looking forward to all the yummy things he’s going to slice and dice for me at home now.

This was a great class and I learnt so much from David about pigs and where all the cuts of meat are from. Can't wait to put my new butchery skills to good use at home!

Great class - picked up some tips, made a lovely brunch & met some great people. What I really liked about Avenue Cookery compared to other cooking classes I have been on is that there were plenty of chefs around to help all groups instead of one chef having to try and manage questions from everyone. Would definitely go back again!

So moist and gooey. The best tasting brownies ever. Thank you and I would definitely recommend to friends.
