Flowers and chocolates are a lovely gift for Mother's Day, but what about a unique, hands-on experiential gift?

Set in the gorgeous Winchester countryside is Lainston House, home to the Season cookery school. Offering a selection of immersive culinary classes in the heart of Hampshire, treat your Mother to a memorable day out. Classes take place in the bright, state-of-the-art kitchens or out in the hotel’s kitchen garden, where Gozney woodfired ovens and Big Green Eggs bring cooking to life.

 

Under the guidance of award-winning chefs from Exclusive Collection, guests of all skill levels can sharpen their culinary skills, explore new techniques, and enjoy a fun experience with friends and family. From fire-fuelled feasts to skill-building sessions, each class celebrates seasonality, creativity, and the joy of cooking.

 

The foodie-haven is currently offering three classes that would make for excellent gifts ahead of the special day; World Cuisine: Italian Classics, Skills and Passions: Stocks and Sauces, and Gozney Woodfired: Meat Feast.

World Cuisine: Italian Classics (£195pp)


Learn how to whip up an array of authentic Italian dishes with this day-long class, filled with fresh ingredients, tasty techniques and comforting flavours. You’ll visit our kitchen garden to pick fresh rosemary for focaccia, discover top tips on perfecting a classic tiramisu, and learn how to master the art of making pasta from scratch. 


You’ll try your hand at mixing, kneading, rolling and shaping pasta and pizza dough. And after lots of cooking, there’s lots of eating! Who can resist pizza straight out of the woodfired oven?

Skills and Passions: Stocks and Sauces (£165pp)


In this technique-led class, our chef will teach you the secrets of perfecting stocks and sauces, and key techniques like sweating off and roasting bones, plus using all the right ingredients needed to create incredible flavour. 


You’ll make a range of different, classic sauces that can be easily replicated at home, including brown chicken stock, Hollandaise and chimichurri. No need to be a cooking connoisseur here: this class is relaxed, fun, informative and interactive, and suits all ability levels.

Gozney Woodfired: Meat Feast (£230pp)


Join us for an unforgettable outdoor meat feast experience where you'll learn the art of woodfired cookery in a stunning, natural setting.

Our hands-on class takes you through the process of cooking mouth-watering meats using traditional woodfire techniques that bring out deep, rich flavours.

 

Celebrate by giving the gift of an unforgettable experience this Mother’s Day.
