It's officially Autumn...but who had a BBQ last night?! We did!

What's everyone in the mood to cook right now? Stews and comfort food or are we all hanging onto the summer dishes for as long as we can?

Something new, shiny and exciting is coming next year. And we are very excited to share it with you.

A special place in the clouds, a bespoke kitchen built for teaching, learning and laughing all at once and a dinner table to connect around.

September is fully booked but we do have a few spaces left on the June retreat. Please email with you interest or drop us a DM for our brochure.

I have a degree in business and marketing.

I also have a spreadsheet for everything,
a husband who won’t read his emails and a Google Drive that’s one folder away from a full breakdown

This is not what I pictured when
I graduated, but it is considerably better.

Hi. I’m Autumn. I run Kent Cookery
School with James, he cooks,
I handle everything else

Ten years in and I’m still learning
something new every single day.

So today is the actual day 10 years ago we got the keys to the school. Just two wide eyed, eager beavers with no idea what was in store.

There is our full story on our substack ‘Chefs Plus One’ if you have a minute to check it out. Both James and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has ever cooked with us over the years.

The people that come to the school, and those that keep coming back really make it a very special place, so thank you.

We know we’re lucky to do something we love and get to share it with people and without our customers we wouldn’t get to do this everyday.

Five books that will
change how you bake

Everyone know James isn’t the baker, but these are the ones we reach for time and time again.

1. Bouchon Bakery — Thomas Keller
The bible of precision baking.
Every recipe works, beautiful imagery.

2. Bread Song — Kitty Tate
Beautiful, lyrical and surprisingly
achievable. A love letter to bread.

3. Tartine Bread — Chad Robertson
The sourdough book that started
a movement. Still the best.

4. Bread Ahead
The practical one. The one you’ll
actually use on a Saturday morning.

5. The Square Sweet Chapter — Philip Howard
Fine dining pastry made approachable.
A masterclass between two covers.

Trying to squeeze in one more BBQ before summer’s officially over? Here is everything we cooked last time for inspiration. No theme, no plan, just fired up the grills and cooked whatever looked good when we brought it. Swipe through:

Spicy chorizo bites with aioli
Charred corn salad
Green tahini dip
Heritage tomato & burrata salad
Green beans & shallots
Iberico secreto pork + beef onglet
Boneless brown butter chicken
Flame-roasted peaches with red onions
Duck fat smash potatoes

Which one are you making first?

Save this so you’ve got a full BBQ spread ready to go. Tag the friend you’d cook this for or send it to whoever’s hosting next.
