Swedish Cooking Class

Who is this for? 

Chefs, amateur cooks, menu planners / creators and anyone interested in increasing their recipe bank!

Why should I take part?

You will spend time with like minded colleagues from the industry, using authentic recipes under the guidance of chefs who have authentic knowledge of the ingredients and menu items. After cooking your menu, you will consume the food you have created and take away the recipes from the day to take back to your institution.

There is a mini tour of Swedish food that takes place the day before - this gives additional value for people travelling from greater distances as accommodation is included and allows participants to immerse themselves in this well loved global food trend.

Made in Hackney Community Cookery School

Discover the fresh, seasonal flavours of Swedish cuisine in this hands-on cooking class, where you'll learn how simple ingredients, traditional techniques and modern Nordic influences come together to create beautifully balanced dishes. Guided by an expert chef, you'll prepare authentic recipes that can be adapted for university catering, hospitality and contemporary campus dining.

Swedish cuisine celebrates sustainability, locality and seasonality, making it an ideal source of inspiration for chefs looking to develop nutritious, plant-forward menus without compromising on flavour. Throughout the day you'll explore classic ingredients, baking traditions and the famous Swedish concept of fika, gaining practical skills and recipes to take back to your own kitchen.

Whether you're looking to diversify your menu, introduce Nordic-inspired dishes or simply develop your culinary repertoire, this development day offers fresh ideas that are both commercially viable and operationally achievable.
