It Starts with Veg Cookery Class

Join Ceri Jones for a hands-on cookery class exploring seasonal recipes from her new cookbook It Starts with Veg. Starting with veg means putting the vegetables front and centre of the recipes, and across 100 recipes in the book Ceri features 40 different vegetables, from the humble potato to celeriac. This is a book that celebrates seasonality, produce, sustainability and, of course, eating more veg

In the class you will cook an autumnal meal including a starter, main protein and two vegetable side dishes from the roots and squash chapters, which can all be flexibly with other vegetables, and alongside other recipes giving you multiple new recipes at your fingertips. 

As a passionate and experienced food educator, Ceri will lead you through the recipes and encourage the practice and development of a wealth of kitchen skills from safe and effective knife skills to seasoning to taste and how to present your food beautifully. 

Menu 
Celeriac, Haddock and Prawn Chowder 
Glazed Beetroot with Whipped Ricotta, Radicchio & Chicory Leaves and Orange  
Warm Delicata Squash Salad with Black Rice, Cavolo Nero, and Za’atar Dressing 
Sumac Roasted Chicken Leg (or Pan-fried Salmon) 

Ceri has designed this class from the recipes featured in her brand new cookbook, It Starts with Veg : 100 Seasonal Suppers and Sides which will be available to buy on the day.

Please call the school to discuss any severe food allergies prior to booking a class online, we must speak to you before you visit the school if you have a severe allergy or severe dietary intolerance.

We will become as flexible as possible, where we can to remove a specific ingredient from a student’s recipe we will but we are unable to remove that ingredient for every student attending.

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. Please contact us for more information
