Whether you love or need to build your cooking confidence, go along to one of the Richard Hughes cookery classes and you’re bound to have fun. Run in the state-of-the-art fully equipped bespoke kitchens at Norwich’s Assembly House, the school offers culinary know-how from Richard and a range of top-class tutors including UK Chocolate Ambassador, Gary Hunter, gluten-free expert Steve Thorpe, and the Assembly House’s own Master pâtissier Mark Mitson and pro cake decorator Laura Grix.

If you fancy a more leisurely approach to your cookery class, then kick back with a Masterclass Lunch. This includes a cookery demo from Richard, while sampling tasty delights (we’re ALL about the delights), followed by lunch with wine and coffee. Recipes are given out so you can repeat/destroy it all again at home.

The kids can get involved too, drop them off for two hours of jolly Italian baking where they’ll get to know a few of the tricks and techniques used by the professionals. (No more weird little grey biscuits!) The class includes Italian treats such as biscotti and lemon polenta cake – scrummy!

Courses range from French classics and Kids’ Baking to creating your own Indian takeaway (OK, homemade-away).

Make a night of it and stay over in one of the gorgeous Georgian bedrooms all designed by local interiors goddess Annabel Grey. You can have this luxurious stunner for only £160 per night if you book in to the cookery school. What a steal!
