The AGA Cooking School
The only one of its kind in North America, the AGA Cooking School has nearly a hundred years of combined experience in the world of AGA. We love food, family, fun and our AGAs, of course. Tap into Chef DeRo and crew’s years of experience and get on your way to cooking the AGA way.
Learn To Cook the AGA Way
Cooking on the AGA, a traditional cooker or a new Total Control is not like cooking on other ranges. It takes time and a bit of experimenting to get it right. Whether you are thinking of purchasing an AGA or have had one for years, our instruction will cut the learning curve and make AGA ownership more satisfying no matter what level of AGA cooking you’re at.
Our school started as a three-day course, but in recent years, the hectic pace of life has dictated shortening it to a two-day program. In two days, from breakfast to almost dinner time, we’ll pack in a large amount of techniques and instruction so you leave feeling like a pro.
The AGA Cooking School is Hands On!
The course is hands on, so you get plenty of AGA time. We keep the classes small, even holding a course for one person if necessary, so that you get all the personalized instruction possible. We’ll start in the morning and end mid to late afternoon, but don’t worry we’ll be making plenty of great food to keep you going all through the class!
What You’ll Learn in the AGA Cooking School
We’ve prepared an inclusive cooking class that will leave no question on how the AGA works. We start with the basics:
- Using the AGA cooker, from basics to pro tips and tricks. You’ll get it all from us, making this a great starter or continuing education course.
- Cooking the family favorites and classics. We teach you some everyday and some gourmet that way you’re prepared for anything when you’re back at the helm.
- “Re-programming.” Transitioning to an AGA from a conventional range can be a little daunting. We’ll teach you how to look at recipes and think about things the AGA way.
If you can only make it for one day or if you would prefer to do the original three-day experience, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
