Cooks Academy:
Conveniently located on South William Street in Dublin's city centre, Cooks Academy is a world class cookery school and Dublin's premier cookery institute boasting an 80 seater demonstration theatre and hands-on facilities for up to 72 students. We offer a wide range of cookery courses including 1-week courses, 1-month certificate course and much more. Founded in May 2005 by Vanessa and Tim Greenwood, the unique mix of elegant and purposely fitted out premises, together with a relaxed, fun and educational environment has ensured the school's success and excellent reputation to date. Vanessa's love of cooking inspired her to open the school and share her knowledge of food and its preparation with others.

Cookery Courses / Classes:

For demonstration classes, you are handed recipes & are invited to ask questions while tasting everything that the tutor prepares. Hands-on classes are different & involve students doing the cooking sometimes individually, in pairs or in groups. Cooks Academy provides all ingredients and equipment for the courses.
