Welcome to Blend Culinary Foundation
A Bold Vision for Change
At the heart of Blend Family, we are passionate about creating vibrant, diverse food halls. But we’re also committed to something bigger – alleviating food poverty, enhancing food education, and uniting communities through food. Every penny raised through our Blend Culinary Foundation is reinvested to support this mission, and we’re proud to have already worked with more than 25 community organisations to help make it a reality.
Introducing Our Social Cooking Classes
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned home cook, our hands-on Cooking Classes are for you. Designed to be fun, informative, and inspiring, everyone is welcome!
Based in our purpose-built kitchens on the 1st floor of Cambridge Street Collective in Sheffield and on the ground floor of Alfred Works in Birmingham, we are a modern space that runs a wide array of cooking classes. From our now-infamous Cooking & Cocktails (our Friday night social class) to our Bottomless Brunch classes on a Saturday afternoon, we have something for everyone.
Take a look, your next culinary adventure awaits…
From Junior Chefs to Family Experiences
Cooking is about so much more than preparing a meal. It’s an opportunity to learn, grow and spend quality time together. Through our Junior Chef, Teen Cooking Club and Family Classes, we create welcoming spaces where young people and families can develop practical skills, build confidence and discover a love for food. Whether it’s learning something new or sharing an experience together, our sessions are designed to inspire creativity, encourage independence and make cooking fun for everyone.
Junior Chef
Our Junior Chef sessions introduce children to the joy of cooking in a fun, welcoming environment. From trying new ingredients to learning practical kitchen skills, we help young chefs build confidence, get creative and discover what they can achieve.
Teen Cooking Club
Our Teen Cooking Club gives young people the opportunity to develop their cooking skills, explore new recipes and become more confident in the kitchen. It’s a chance to learn, make friends, try something new and gain valuable skills they can carry into everyday life.
Family Classes
Food brings families together, and our Family Classes are all about sharing that experience. Whether you’re learning a new recipe or getting creative in the kitchen, our sessions offer a fun, hands-on way to spend quality time together and make lasting memories.
Good Food, Great Company & Giving Back
Good food has a way of bringing people together. Whether it’s enjoying our Cooking & Cocktails sessions with friends or getting stuck in with colleagues on a Corporate Pledge Day, there’s something for everyone. It’s all about trying something new, having a good time and connecting with others over a shared love of food. And the best part? Every experience helps support the work of Blend Culinary Foundation, giving something back to the community along the way.
Cooking & Cocktails
Our Cooking & Cocktails sessions bring great food and good company together for a relaxed, hands-on experience. Whether you’re catching up with friends or celebrating something special, it’s a chance to try new recipes, learn new skills and enjoy an evening together.
Corporate Pledge Days
Our Corporate Pledge Days give businesses the opportunity to come together, connect with their community and make a meaningful difference. It’s a chance for colleagues to work as a team, give something back and support the wider mission of Blend Culinary Foundation.
