Wickedfood® Cooking School is an educational facility, offering tuition in a wide range of culinary skills to the public and corporate world in a fun, safe environment. We run cooking classes and food workshops (subject to a minimum of 10 people) throughout the year at our purpose-built country cooking school. The venue is also available for corporate and private functions – team building, product launches, birthdays, kitchen teas, and dinner parties with a difference. Our cooking classes and workshops are hands-on, where every person gets to participate in the preparation of the dishes. Cooking classes are also a lot of fun where you not only learn new skills, but get to meet people with similar interests. For corporate groups these cooking classes and cooking workshops are a novel way of creating staff interaction or entertaining clients.
Our first cooking classes were run from restaurant premises in Illovo in October 2001. In May 2002, the cooking school was moved to a purpose-built teaching kitchen in Fourways, accommodating up to 16 students per cooking class. Over the next 2 years the cooking school developed a highly successful formula that is in great demand to both individual clients and the corporate environment. A new cooking school opened in Montecasino, Fourways, Sandton, in mid 2004. Our second franchise cooking school opened in Boksburg in 2006. The Montecasino cooking school premises became too small and our flagship franchise cooking school moved and opened in Sunninghill in August 2007.
In 2014 our founder moved to a sustainable working farm in the Magalies Valley and opened Wickedfood Earth Country Cooking School. This cooking school’s emphases is on sustainable food and skills training, as well as creating tailor-made food events.
The Country Cooking School can accommodate up to 100 people in hands-on cooking classes in state-of-the-art, purpose-built, teaching kitchens and outside cooking areas, and offers a wide variety of cooking classes (including special halaal options) specifically for the corporate and group market.
