Having always enjoyed teaching, Jacqueline set up Positively Delicious Cookery School after hosting series of weekly online cook-alongs during lockdown. With a strong desire to turn the tables on the effects of the pandemic on the hospitality industry, the Positively Delicious team are now spreading knowledge and positivity through cookery workshop days, virtual dinner party cooking lessons, private cookery tuition and more. With fire cookery to foraging days lined up for 2021, watch this space and check out the cookery school website for more details! 

All our educational food experiences offer a combination of hands on cookery, cookery demonstration, and generous tasting samples of all food and drinks. We promise no one will go hungry. Every guest will also receive one of our stylish Positively Delicious, organic cotton aprons, and a take home treat. Hooray!
