Maker's bio

I have had a passion for cooking all of my life, learning early cooking skills from my Mother and Grandmother. I grew up on my parents farm in Herefordshire, so I’m very much a country boy at heart. In my early teens I turned my love of cooking into a way of earning pocket money, working in restaurants and bistros. I have run my own bistro and restaurant in Suffolk, including outside catering. Although I enjoy the rustic nature of cooking, I have always had a passion for food across the globe and have had the pleasure of working with chefs from many different countries. I incorporate many of these cuisines in my every day home cooking as well as my workshops. Where We Are Our classes are run at our beautiful Suffolk small holding deep in the countryside close to Bury St Edmunds. Come and enjoy our gardens and animals whilst you hone your cooking skills with the many courses we offer. Make it a short break with so much to explore in Suffolk and Norfolk (Nelsons Birthplace) or visit Sutton Hoe to view the Viking Burial Treasure or just spend a day relaxing on North Norfolk’s wonderful sandy beaches

Mrs Tamsin Eddison reviewed: Spanish and Mexican Tapas

"I really enjoyed this course. Not being a confident cook I was a little apprehensive but Phil immediately put me at ease. He was patient and encouraging and shared a lot of great tips. I appreciated his broad and plentiful choice of recipes and watching, participating and eating in his super kitchen set in a delightful location. I can highly recommend this good value course to both experience and inexperienced cooks. "

Catherine reviewed: Spanish and Mexican Tapas

"I booked this course for my sister-in-law's birthday. We both thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make delicious Mexican and Spanish dishes, and came away with lots of lovely food to take home. Phil and his wife were very welcoming and they live in a beautiful, peaceful place in the Suffolk countryside. The kitchen was very well equipped, and was the perfect place to learn how to cook all the dishes. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch overlooking the garden. It was a lovely day, I can 100% recommend doing this cooking class. Thanks again Phil, we will definitely be back to do future cookery courses!"
