A cookery school’s second location opens in Camberwell for public and private classes making dishes from around the world writes Maxine Brigue…
Emerge Cookery School offers events for corporate team-building classes, private parties, and bespoke private dining experiences. The founders, Shannon McAuliffe and Ruby Hazel, began Emerge on Hackney Road with a desire to make global cuisines more accessible.
McAuliffe says their new school in Camberwell is “the perfect space for people to learn how to cook new dishes, meet new people and have fun with their friends or work colleagues.”
Hazel says her love for food began through her grandmother teaching her “traditional Indian techniques as well as spice profiling”. She, along with McAuliffe, set up Emerge as a way to “pass on this love and these skills”.
Since their launch in 2024, Emerge has launched a UK-wide mobile cookery school and, now, their second permanent location. The school provides all the equipment and ingredients necessary for their classes so that all attendees need to bring is a willingness to learn new skills.
Emerge is also committed to supporting the community, including contributing to today’s (September 17) Feed the 500 event in Borough Market. They are also involved with Plan Zheroes, a charity fighting food waste and poverty.
Classes start at £99 – for more information, visit their website here.
