Recipease - A New Way of Cooking
Jamie Oliver (our Man of the Moment in December 2008) has just launched his latest project Recipease here in the UK. Recipease is a new food and kitchen shop where you can learn to cook and make great food. You can book a lesson to come into the shop and make a meal in around 10 minutes (they have all the ingredients ready and waiting), buy freshly made food, or attend one of the longer classes to learn more about cooking. The goal is to open various food and kitchen emporiums around the UK, with the first opening on February 26th in Clapham Junction.

Find out more at the site - Recipease - and book online. The site is intiutive with an easy overview calendar to pick a date and time that suits you. Openings are limited per lesson, but you will see that information on the site. Meals are sorted into mains, sides and puddings. Along with delicious looking photos (very successful at tempting you), you can view the ingredients used for each meal along with all the nutritional information. It is simple to add sessions to your shopping cart by selecting the meal and then the size/servings and quantity. The prices for these are pretty damn good considering you are getting a lesson and a meal at the end of it.
This sounds like a fabulous project. It’s all about local foods, getting out of the habit of those microwave meals (or worse, take-out all the time) and learning how to cook good meals, and perhaps even building a bit of a community around these food and kitchen emporiums.
I’m hoping they open one in Oxford soon. I know I’ll be quite the regular if they do!

That sounds so fun…and delicious. I wish they’d have something like that in the US. I’m going to add this to my list of reasons to visit London.
