Baking classes in Dublin, taught in your own kitchen

    No travel. No borrowed oven. Vera brings the flour, the tins and 20 years of Swiss-trained baking to your house in Swords, Malahide, Balbriggan or anywhere in Fingal, and teaches you in the kitchen you will actually bake in. From €250 for a group of 6 to 10.

    Why your kitchen beats a cookery school

    A class in a city cookery school teaches you to bake on their equipment. You drive home, your oven runs hot, your tin is the wrong size, and the bread does not rise. We teach you on your own equipment, so you learn what your oven does, not what a commercial one does.

    Everything arrives with Vera: ingredients, equipment, aprons.
    Everything leaves with Vera. Cleanup is included.
    Groups of 6 to 10, so every person has their hands in the dough.
    Evenings and weekends across Swords, Malahide, Balbriggan, Portmarnock, Donabate, Skerries, Rush and Lusk.

    Who books these classes

    • Hen parties and birthday groups who want to do something, not just drink something.
