Join us to celebrate the launch of Dominic Franks’ highly anticipated new cookbook, "Upside Down Cooking" — a bold, fresh take on rethinking kitchen classics and flipping tradition on its head (sometimes literally).

With millions of fans across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, Dominic has become one of social media’s favourite foodies, known for his clever twists, vibrant flavour combinations, and easy-to-follow approach that inspires confidence in cooks of all levels.

This is your chance to meet Dom in person, watch him demo recipes from the book live, and ask all your burning cookery questions throughout. Plus, you’ll be able to purchase the cookbook on the day and have it personally signed by Dominic himself.

Dominic Franks

Originally from London, Dominic Franks now lives in Lincolnshire where he is a food writer for Lincolnshire Life Magazine, is regularly featured on BBC Radio Lincolnshire as their go-to food expert, and has been feeding the internet with his blog Dom In The Kitchen since 2010. Dominic's love for food started young, drawing inspiration from Delia Smith, his mum (who will tell you that she taught him everything he knows), his Jewish heritage, and the cultural melting pot of his London upbringing.

You will be learning in a beautifully designed kitchen which provides a warm welcoming environment that can accommodate everything from group cookery classes to intimate chef’s tables, with the versatility to suit everyone.

Our partners have been chosen with great care, as all our equipment must stand up to the day-to-day rigours of our cookery school – much like a professional kitchen, that you can enjoy using whilst creating your own amazing dishes in class to give you the best possible experience when cooking with us.

Our classes and outstanding range of teachers will help you hone your gastronomic skills, even if you are a complete novice or a dab hand in the kitchen. We love highlighting new upcoming food trends and championing the rising stars within the culinary world.

Divertimenti does everything it can to reduce the risk of any students consuming an allergen that could cause and allergic reaction.

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
