“Delivered to a very high standard”
I love cooking and have been already to 3 courses at Ashburton before. They are all delivered at a very high standard. The best thing is that you can subsequently practice the new skills in your kitchen and enjoy fantastic food with your friends. This is a good level of cooking course where I have learnt so much. The people are very friendly with professionals to show you the ropes

“Wouldn't hesitate to recommend”
I was a bit nervous beforehand but needn't have been, it was a very relaxed environment and I felt able to ask questions freely. Our tutor explained and demonstrated everything very well and gave everyone individual attention. Great experience, wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

“Really enjoyable day”
Had a really enjoyable day and learnt lots, can't wait to be able to use these skills at home. We had a great teacher, he answered any questions and made us all laugh, he helped make our day a great one. The amount of bread I came home with was great too! I left wanting to come back and do another course.

“The whole experience at Ashburton Cookery School is as good as it gets.”
The whole experience at Ashburton Cookery School is as good as it gets. My wife & I have completed a number of various courses and each one has been taught with skill, expert knowledge and consideration for those being taught. The amount you can learn from a day course is truly amazing. The facilities at the school are purpose built and carefully designed and this is a gorgeous part of Devon - I know because I live here.

“I would recommend this course to anyone.”
Although I can cook I had never baked bread before and I was a concerned that a course would be a little too advanced for me. I needn't have worried this course was fantastic, the chefs were brilliant and I had a wonderful day. I would recommend this course to anyone. You will definitely be able to bake many types of bread with confidence when finished.

Best gift ever! Cannot wait to sign up for another course :-)
SW [Feb 2016]
I thoroughly enjoyed the day. I feel that i have been given the confidence and basic knowledge to push my skills. The class has taught me to persevere with my bread making and not give up at the first hurdle. Its taught me that often little mistakes can be rectified. I now know what to look for with my dough consistency and how to get there. I'm looking forward to booking my next course with you.
HB [Feb 2016]
It was absolutely a brilliant day and I really enjoyed every minute of the course. The tips given out by the chef were very useful and have been written down, as I do have senior moments. Thank you very much Chef.

“Course was excellent”
Course was excellent, I was amazed at how much we achieved in one day. Great day, learned an enormous amount about bread making. Has inspired me to throw away the bread maker and start making it by hand!

“Really enjoying the improvement in my baking skills”
I attended the Breadmaking course in Feb this year and I want to say how much I enjoyed it. I learnt so much and I am really enjoying the improvement in my baking skills. The instructors were really good and so informative and everyone made me feel welcome and put me at ease. I am much in demand with my family for fresh home baked bread-I just wish that I had a bigger oven! Again, thanks to all.

“The course has inspired me”
I attended the Breadmaking Course run by Rob and just want how much I enjoyed it. My wife bought this as a Christmas present and as I am not really a cook (but can follow a recipe!) was not really looking forward to it but I have to say Rob was inspirational, all the baking turned out perfectly and I am now about to cook bread for the family so the course has inspired me - thanks.
