Welcome to The Round Table

1. GET COOKING

The best part of our Ultimate Skills Course is that it's completely flexible! With a huge selection of recipes available, you get to create a totally bespoke course that fits your current skill level and goals.

WHERE SHOULD YOU START?

We've designed the course to suit everyone, from kitchen novices to experienced bakers:

• New to Cooking? We recommend starting with our structured Level 1 and 2 Skills Courses. They offer a fantastic mix of core, classic savoury and baking skills. Prefer to focus on savoury or baking only? You can choose to follow our dedicated Savoury or Baking courses.

• More Advanced or Returning? Feel free to skip ahead! You might jump right into Level 2, 3 or 4, or you can pick and choose recipes from different course levels and our fully searchable recipe bank.

Each course is organised around weekly skills, and you can find the full list of available recipes in two places:

1. Use the Recipe Lists link at the bottom of this page
2. Log In, go to My Course Library > "Recipe Lists & Cooking Log" within your course

When you select a recipe, you'll get everything you need: a pre-recorded cookalong tutorial and a downloadable recipe card with a list of all of the ingredients.  There is also the option to watch the skills tutorial to get a deeper understanding of the theory and practice of the weekly skill being taught.

Please note that our recipes are written to serve four people but can easily be scaled up or down as needed.

If you need any help with alternatives for different dietary requirements please just email us at [email protected]

Recipe Requests: We're constantly adding new recipes, but if there's one on the master list that isn't live yet, just let us know. We’ll film it and get it uploaded ASAP.

WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

We're here to help you build your ideal course! If you'd like advice on the best recipes or the right level to start at, please don't hesitate to ask. Just send a quick email to the team at [email protected].

SHARE YOUR FOOD

We often showcase student creations on our social media and website. If you're happy for us to share your photos, simply let us know in your email, or tag us directly on Instagram @roundtablecookery

2. Log Your Progress   (This is really important...)

Logging your cooking is quick and easy.  We use your weekly photos to track your progress, share feedback, and answer any questions.  

DofE Students:   As an Approved Activity Provider, we submit your Assessor's Report directly to DofE. We can only do this if you provide us with photographic evidence that you've cooked the recipes and completed the course.

Home Ed Students:   We are able to provide an end of course written report, course portfolio and certificate for our Home Ed students (optional).  If required, you need to provide us with photographic evidence that you've cooked the recipes and completed the course.

Every time you cook a dish, please complete the following steps: 

1. TAKE PHOTOS:
   • In-Progress Photo: Take one quick photo of the dish while it is being cooked.
   • Finished Photo: Take a photo of the final plated dish.
2. EMAIL US YOUR EVIDENCE:  
   • Send your photos to [email protected] every time you cook
   • Subject Line Format:  [Your Name] - [Week Number] - [Dish Name] 
   • e.g. Chloe Coker - Wk 1 - Quesadillas
3. FILL IN YOUR COOKING LOG:
   • Fill in your entry on the Cooking Log (found in 'Recipe List & Cooking Log' section of your course).
   • At the end of your course, send us a photo of your completed log. 
4. FEEDBACK:
   • Ask someone to taste your food and give you quick feedback-this is brilliant help for your learning! 
   • Our tutors will also provide feedback responses to your emailed photographs.  

Safeguarding Note: Please only send photos of the food - do not include pictures of people.
