By all means if you find it helpful but Spice Monkey will supply students with recipes for all dishes made. After our courses you should be able to go home and recreate the same perfect meal on your own.

The best way to learn is by doing. Because we cook in small groups you’ll be preparing all aspects of the dishes. There’ll be plenty of involvement either on your own or in pairs.

Courses are structured around a complete meal, including a dessert. Please contact us if there are specific dishes you would like to learn.

We are at 191 Victoria Road, Alexandra Palace, London N22 7XH. There is ample free parking outside on the street. Please note that the property is set back from the main road with 12 steps up from the street so disabled access is limited. Nearest public transport is Bounds Green tube station (Piccadilly Line).
