If you’re bored to death of your own cooking repertoire (tonight kids, it’s pasta and pesto – who’d have thought it, eh?), you can shake things up a bit with a stint at this Milton Keynes cookery teaching hub. There’s a variety of evening classes and day courses, covering everything from cooking the perfect steak to clean eating to knife skills to cooking for dinner parties. Being the total hipster that I am, I rather fancy the Korean street food sessions (pass the kimchee, please). They also offer corporate team-building classes (so you can wow Colin from accounts with your spiralizing skills) and gift vouchers – which would make for a rather clever, self-serving present if you live with a dud cook.
