Made In Hackney run a programme of life-enriching masterclasses and workshops led by our team of nutritionists, chefs, foragers, herbalists and food lovers. Our classes reflect Made in Hackney's philosophy of LOCAL, SEASONAL, ORGANIC and 100% PLANT-BASED, delicious food. Our hands-on sessions give you the confidence and knowledge, in a relaxed environment, to incorporate these skills into your life or food business.
Our masterclasses suit all experience levels in a four-hour session, providing skills and techniques to delve into and lots of time to ask questions of your expert teachers.
Our workshops also suit all experience levels, providing a 2.5-3 hour experience that is informative, fun and gives you focused attention on a skill,
