Did the Sri Lankan course and it was excellent - learned a huge amount and thoroughly enjoyed it. The lunch we cooked was delicious; I'll be making all the recipes again. Kristi is a great tutor. Thank you!

We received this experience as a special birthday gift and had an amazing time learning how to make chocolates in such a beautiful setting. We especially enjoyed learning these skills from Mikael, who supported us throughout and made the experience so fun. We would recommend this experience and have come away with a newfound skill that we feel confident to try and recreate in the kitchen! Thank you Mikael!

Our morning was both informative and relaxing. I learnt a few things but had a lovely sociable time! Thank you.

Fiona and I had a lovely time at the Sri Lankan Feast cookery class. Kristi was friendly and clear in her demos. We all enjoyed cooking and eating the Feast afterwards and my husband got to enjoy it too as we were able to take some home! Thank you - we’ll be looking out for another class to do in 2027.

We had a fantastic session learning how to cook a Sri Lankan feast - came with my son it was fast paced - great dishes and lovely meal afterwards - we also got to take some home

I booked a class for myself and my son. From the refreshments at the beginning to the practical guidance and the help throughout, nothing was too much. The ingredients, the equipment and the surroundings were first class with no stone unturned.
I would recommend this to anyone and suggest it as a great birthday or Xmas gift.

The Moroccan cookery session at Ground Up was fabulous. Kristi our teacher was lovely - so helpful and very well- informed. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course particularly because of the informal atmosphere and the style of tuition. I learned much and enjoyed the food cooked.

The course ran by Kristi , went exactly to plan , clear instructions, with a printed copy of dishes , very helpful..thank you .
One thing when we sat down to eat ,not many serving spoons to be able to share our food out . But Diana and really enjoyed our class with you .

My daughter and I attended what turned out to be a fascinating and informative day finding out how to identify what’s edible and what is not and how to incorporate them into different recipes. The day culminated in the group making a variety of foods to share over a glass of wine. Chudleigh cookery score offers a huge range courses and I would highly recommend. It was such a relaxed teaching style that I will definitely be back in the future.

The full day course was both informative and interesting, covering all aspects of wild food and foraging. Cooking and eating our finds was the icing on the cake!!

What can I say? What an absolutely wonderful evening from start to finish!

The food, drinks, ambience, conversation and wonderfully relaxed atmosphere were all pitched perfectly. Colin, Tasha and the whole team made us feel so welcome, creating a really friendly and laid-back experience.

The food was quite honestly mind-blowing! The variety of flavours and unusual combinations introduced us to ingredients and dishes we'd never have thought to try before. Every course was completely different from the last, and each one was a lovely surprise.

I'll admit, I went along thinking five courses might mean five tiny plates of fancy morsels and that we'd be stopping for chips on the way home. How wrong I was! We were absolutely stuffed by the end!

A fantastic experience, delicious food and brilliant company. Thank you all so much for such a memorable evening. We'll most definitely be back!

Incredible dining experience to tantalise your taste buds! The ambience, fellow diners and of course Colin's description before each tasty plate made the experience extra special. Have been on two workshops and what a great experience and team. You will not be disappointed !

Loved the course from start to finish. An amazing facility and the tutor was so knowledgeable and willing to share tips. Was quite anxious as had never attended anything like this before. I'm more confident about pastry now and have even used the recipe sheet already. Felt at ease in this informal atmosphere with its prep pods and will be attending another course in the future. We overran slightly on time but no-one left early which showed how good it was overall.

The Advanced Preservation workshop surpassed all my expectations. It was so much more than just a class on making kimchi.

Throughout the day, we tasted a wonderful plethora of Colin’s amazing concoctions, and he generously shared tips and recipes for every single one.

Colin patiently answered every question we threw at him, never hesitating to share his extensive knowledge and expertise.

The communal lunch was delicious and a fantastic opportunity to sample even more unique ferments. On top of that, we were treated to an endless supply of homemade teas, flavoured waters, cordials, and biscuits to help ourselves to.

I came away with pages of notes, an absolute wealth of inspiration, and a long list of exciting recipes to try. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough!
