We’re so excited to welcome the wonderful Alexandra Dudley back to the Divertimenti Cookery School for another deliciously inspiring evening of food, flavour and beautiful seasonal cooking.

After a hugely popular first visit celebrating the launch of her cookbook, Alexandra returns to our kitchen with something completely new. This time, she’ll be sharing a collection of brand-new, exclusive recipes that celebrate that wonderful moment in the year when summer begins to give way to autumn.

Expect the vibrant abundance of late summer alongside the warmer, richer and more comforting flavours of the season ahead. Alexandra’s cooking is all about creating food that feels generous, joyful and effortlessly beautiful — dishes full of interesting textures, punchy flavours and the kind of ingredients that make you excited to gather people around the table.

With a hugely engaged social following and an infectious passion for food, Alexandra has become one of the most exciting and inspiring voices in modern home cooking. During this special live demonstration, she’ll cook through a selection of exclusive recipes, sharing her tips, tricks and ideas for making the most of the changing seasons.

Whether you joined us for Alexandra’s first appearance at Divertimenti or you’re discovering her cooking for the first time, this is your chance to spend an evening in the company of one of our favourite cooks, watch her bring her signature relaxed and flavour-packed style to life, and taste the delicious results along the way.

Come hungry and leave inspired for a whole new season of cooking.

We handle all types of ingredients in the kitchen at Divertimenti and we are not able to completely allergen free environment, our kitchen is multi-purpose therefore this makes our kitchen unsuitable for those with life- threatening allergies, in such cases as these we would suggest getting in touch with the team to arrange a private lesson in your own home with one of our chefs.
