You don’t need more recipes; you need a system.
From shellfish to ramen, master fundamental techniques that make healthier choices easier this spring.
RESET THE TEAM DYNAMIC
Start the year with a new energy.

GIFTS THAT LAST FOREVER
Flowers wilt. Chocolate disappears. Skills last a lifetime.
Whether it's for a partner or a parent, give them the confidence to create, not just more stuff.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is Dublin Cookery School one of the best hands-on cookery schools in Dublin?
- Dublin Cookery School is recognised as Ireland’s premier in-person cooking school because we prioritise active learning. Unlike demonstration-led schools, you cook every single dish yourself. We teach in a fully operational kitchen with stations for each student, not a showroom.
- Do you offer Cooking Classes for Beginners?
- The beauty of how we design all of our courses is that anyone of any level can join us and learn. While someone new to the kitchen will find support as they manoeuvre through new techniques, the more seasoned cooks in our group will thrive on all the pointers we offer for further improvement. Our personalised approach allows for healthy breathing space because we always teach our course material in a layered way and know how to quickly adapt to a moving room. Constant, open-ended learning is one of the things we love the most about being in the kitchen and our tutors' enthusiastic teaching style and patience is a testament to that.
