Take Home a Piece of Natural Cookery School!

After many conversations and plenty of interest, things haven’t quite gone to plan with the sale of the cookery school. So this is your chance to grab a piece of equipment you’ve always wanted from the school!

We’ve had lots of interest in the space itself, but understandably, people are feeling cautious given the current local and global economy. So we are having an equipment sale!

When
Thursday 21st May — 6pm–8pm (tomorrow!)
Saturday 24th May — 10am–2pm

If you can’t make either of these times, get in touch and I can give you some alternative times when we will be there.

The Engine House at Days Mill has been the perfect place for Natural Cookery School to blossom from our humble beginnings at Woodruffs back in 2007.

Now it’s time for me to focus on my health and finally get this broken chef’s body fixed.

Hopefully, before too long, someone new will take on this fabulous space and continue creating delicious food here in some capacity.

As for what the future holds for me — your guess is as good as mine! For now, I’m taking a year to recover, and then we’ll see where life leads next. I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you for being part of this journey and helping make a dream come true — even more wonderfully than I could ever have imagined.

Enjoy,
Erin 💚💚💚

Only one day to go…….Then we moved into The Engine House at Days Mill in Nailsworth…. A dream come true.

After hopping from kitchen to kitchen for so many years it was fabulous to have our very own space. A shiny commercial kitchen and cosy dining room

The appetite for our classes grew and grew. You kept us busy! Then we got shut down due to Covid.

So we adapted and kept you feed. Soooo many takeaways, grazing boxes, celebrations cakes, buffets.

2 more days to go. Supper clubs have always been a part of what we do and we love it! Before our Nailsworth kitchen we popped up from Stroud and Shoreditch.
It all started with the Enchanted Allotment Banquet a magnificent feast straight from the plot.

Remember the thunderstorms in April in a yurt with belly dancers serving a 5 course feast. We raised £1500 that night for Syrian Refugees.

Or taking the flying ducks to Shoreditch with for a Pan Asian Express as well as many pop ups at the Nailsworth eatery.

Oh what fun we’ve had! Thanks for coming every one!

4 more days to go….A bit more of the story. The cookery classes were popular and website launched! We started teaching at other cookery schools, for charities and private events.

Then we became part of the family

Farm to table cooking with

Food festivals around the shire and further afield

Collaborations with .gloucestershire and

Teaching at Foodworks

Joining the team Demuths Cookery School

We’ve had some amazing collaborations over the years.

Almost 20 years of cookery classes 💚
We’ve only got 5 days left hosting cookery classes and events in Days Mill in Nailsworth so we thought we should share a little about the journey.
Our humble beginnings were in the kitchen in 2007. We all huddled around a 6 ring commercial cooker then shared a feast in the dining room. It was grand and some of our customers us since.

These photos were from 2012 when we were getting ready to launch website has been our web wizard from the start.

🌿 Nourish Weekend | 24th–26th April 🌿

Our last 3 day course

https://www.naturalcookeryschool.com/3-5-day-cookery-courses/nourish-3-day-course-with-optional-yoga

As winter fades and spring begins to bloom, join us for a nourishing weekend of self-care, movement, and plant-based cooking in the beautiful Cotswold town of Nailsworth.

Over three days, you’ll slow down, reconnect, and nourish yourself through hands-on cookery classes and optional restorative yoga.

🍽️ Plant-Based Cookery
Led by career plant-based chef Erin Baker, our award-winning cookery school sessions celebrate locally sourced vegetables and simple, confidence-building techniques to help you feel natural in the kitchen.

🧘 Optional Yoga Sessions
Gentle, restorative yoga is offered by in a beautiful studio space — just a short stroll from the kitchen.

This weekend is all about slowing down, eating well, moving gently, and taking time to truly nourish yourself.

✨ This will be our last 3-day course, and spaces are limited — come and flow into spring with us.
