Upskill yourself and eat better in 2026, and there’s plenty of options in Cornwall. In Padstow,&nbsp;Rick Stein&nbsp;started the&nbsp;<a href="https://rickstein.com/the-rick-steins-cookery-school/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cookery School</a>&nbsp;to give the chefs from The Seafood Restaurant a bit more intensive training, preparing and cooking fish and shellfish, but now his chefs teach everyone from beginners through to chefs wanting to up their game a wide range of skills. Plenty of dates right the way through 2026.

Head to the farm on Weds 8 April&nbsp;where you’ll be taught through a variety of recipes, which will include savoury, sweet, pickled and preserved items that best reflect the season’s produce – which you can then take home, along with a recipe card. This runs monthly, and also keep an eye out for the famous bread-baking courses too.



Down at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.philleighway.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philleigh Way</a>&nbsp;on The Roseland you’ll learn delicious recipes,&nbsp;useful techniques and eat some of the most amazing food but it’s really all about immersing yourself in the environment.&nbsp;Depending on the day you might meet a Fal oysterman and talk to him about his craft, forage for edible wild greens, cook with vegetables pulled straight from the earth, learn how to catch a flounder with your bare hands or grill a line-caught bass in our woods on the banks of the river Fal – the possibilities are endless.



It is not just the pupils that can learn to cook at Truro Cookery School at Truro School, in partnership with Leiths Education. Their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.truroschoolcookery.com/cookery-courses-cornwall/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cook &amp; Chat evening courses</a>&nbsp;are pairs of tickets, where you learn to cook a specific style of food, e.g. Japanese, or Thai, and then eat together.

How about this <a href="https://www.newlynfermentary.co.uk/shop/p/wellnessretreatchapelhouse" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wellness Retreat at Chapel House</a> in Penzance, run by the folks at Newlyn Fermentatry (Fri 24- Sun 27 April).

Is wine allowed? Definitely if you’re learning about it too! Like natural and organic wines, and want to understand a bit more about how, why, and what to choose? Book yourself a spot on Debbie’s&nbsp;<a href="https://wildwineschool.co.uk/collections/courses/products/an-introduction-to-wild-wines" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">An Introduction to Wild Wines</a>&nbsp;at Lanteague Studios on&nbsp;Sat 26 April&nbsp;and all will be revealed.
