The Nigel Brown Cookery Academy

History

During his years working at some of London’s biggest and busiest hotels Nigel enjoyed competing in many national competitions. He won a place in the Trusthouse Forte Chef of the Year competition and entered the London Hotelympia Salon Culinaire competitions. Due to an ever increasing demand for real hands on cookery courses Nigel opened his Cookery Academy in North Lincolnshire.When Nigel’s not demonstrating his skills on stage at many of the UK’s biggest food festivals, delivering private cookery courses at his Cookery Academy, filming, radio or writing, he caters for high profile private functions and VIP hospitality. He worked closely with Jean-Christophe Novelli at The Novelli Academy offering corporate entertainment and teaching specialist patisserie/cookery courses and is actively involved in promoting the Love Food, Hate Waste Campaign, a subject he demonstrates passionately and which is very close to his Yorkshire roots.

Advantages of studying here

Nigel holds these exclusive classes in his very own kitchen so you can enjoy the pleasure of cooking in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. All the equipment we use is similar to what you will find in domestic kitchens up and down the country so whatever you learn you can recreate in your own home. We limit our class size to a maximum of 4 so it doesn’t matter whether you’re an accomplished cook or can only switch on a kettle, we have the time to teach everyone some new skills and give you the individual attention you deserve.

Areas of specialisation

In his more advanced training, Nigel spent time at the highly acclaimed French cookery school Ecole Le Notre where he picked up a wealth of experience and knowledge in areas of specialist patisserie work. He became a qualified teacher at the age of 21.
