• Healthy and fun

    We ensure our recipes are nutritional and well balanced to encourage healthy eating into adult life, but most importantly we make our lessons fun.

  • Responsibility and care

    We take our responsibility for the children in our care very seriously and so we ensure our teachers undergo extensive training including basic first aid. All our teachers are DBS checked, insured and certified with the local Environmental Health Officer.

  • Skills and confidence

    We hope to provide our students with essential life skills that will stick with them into adulthood, but will also boost their confidence now; the satisfaction to be gained from cooking from scratch should not be underestimated.

Inspiring Young Cooks Since 2011

Founded in 2011, our passion has always been to inspire children to take an interest in food and healthy eating—while having lots of fun! At our heart is our key aim:

“To teach children how to cook nutritious food from scratch, helping them to learn a valuable life skill.”

The essence of the Smart Raspberry brand is built on three core values:

  • Development – We want children to receive quality instruction, developing good habits around food and its preparation.
  • Fun – We create an enjoyable and engaging environment, fostering a love for cooking that lasts a lifetime.
  • Healthy – We focus on long-term well-being, teaching children about balance, proportion, and the role of food in a healthy lifestyle.

Our cookery classes, holiday workshops, and parties run across the UK through our team of franchisees. We offer after-school cookery clubs, holiday workshops, birthday parties, Duke of Edinburgh courses, coeliac-friendly classes, pre-university courses, and lots more! Whether your child is just starting out or preparing for independent living, we’re here to help.
