Cooking Together: a fresh take on a night out – included in Manchester Confidential’s Top 10 Manchester Pop Ups & Supper Clubs!

Ditch the conventional restaurant meal and have fun with your partner or friends. Become chefs for the evening, chopping, slicing, squeezing and peeling all the ingredients you need to produce a restaurant-style meal of your own creation.

Our Cooking Together events are as much about chatting and relaxing as they are about learning and eating. The evening is led by Chef sharing his knowledge and love of food, offering a sprinkling of tips and tricks along the way. The evening is topped off with appetizing ways to present your dishes so you can take Instagram-worthy foodie photos of the fruits of your labour!

Cooking Together nights can be exclusive for groups of ten or more – if you have something in mind, get in touch.

What you will Learn

Chef will demonstrate a first course for you to recreate in your pairs and then enjoy together around our communal table. There follows a demonstration of the main course before it’s your turn to cook again. While you enjoy your meal, Chef will prepare a delicious pudding.

Some example menus are below. Please feel free to make requests in advance of the event. Food Sorcery ingredients are seasonal and locally sourced and a vegetarian option is always available.

Example menu

• First Dish – spring rolls, Thai-style fish cakes, falafels, calamari, or home-made breads with a twist

• Second Dish – the main event will feature meat, fish or poultry (veggie options always in stock) and some seasonal veg and appropriate carb. This may be traditional, globally inspired or invented… go with it!

• Pudding –Chef-made so you can relax and enjoy your meal. Opt for the classics or something more adventurous for example melting middle chocolate puds, sticky toffee, or even a soufflé.

What’s included:

A complimentary glass of wine or beer on arrival (soft drinks also available), and the food you prepare. Copies of the recipes will be emailed afterwards. Most importantly, you don’t even need to do the washing up; all the fun, none of the work.
