Demuths Cookery School

f your road trip has you cruising through Bath, Somerset, and you’re hankering for a culinary adventure that doesn’t involve a deep-fried Mars bar, then Demuths Cookery School is your destination. Specialising in vegetarian and vegan cookery, this school is a haven for plant-based enthusiasts and those looking to dabble in the art of meat-free cuisine.

The classes are as varied as a vegan’s spice rack. From ‘Vegan Fast and Delicious’ to ‘Indulgent Vegan’, there’s a course to tickle every taste bud. One attendee raved about the ‘Vegan Fast and Delicious’ course, highlighting the perfect balance between practical cooking and demonstrations.

On the menu? Think beetroot and aduki bean burgers that even the most dedicated carnivores would consider swapping their beef patties for. Or perhaps spicy pulled jackfruit tacos that are so good, you’ll forget they’re not actually pulled pork. And let’s not overlook the cauliflower mac ‘n’ cheese—it’s so creamy, you’ll wonder if they’ve secretly added dairy.

The school itself is housed in a charming Georgian townhouse, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. With a maximum of 12 participants per class, you’ll receive personal attention and have the chance to bond over your shared love of food.

A word to the wise: these classes are as popular as a free buffet. So, if you don’t want to be left out in the cold (or the kitchen), it’s best to book in advance. And while the school welcomes walk-ins, securing your spot ahead of time is the way to go.

In a nutshell, Demuths Cookery School is a must-visit for anyone looking to spice up their road trip with a dash of culinary flair. Just remember to bring your appetite—and maybe a doggy bag.
