We’re a pop-up cooking class that brings people together through real food
Experience hands-on cooking with local produce and create vibrant meals you’ll want to make again and again — no fancy tools, just real food and great company.
Reviving the lost art of home cooking — together
For generations, cooking was passed down like a family secret—shared in the kitchen and at the table. But somewhere along the way, we were sold the idea that we’re too busy to cook, we’ve traded tradition for shortcuts, and nourishment for labels we can’t even pronounce.
We believe it’s time to come back to the kitchen—not with pressure, but with joy.
Our classes are here to remind you that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. It’s simple. It’s fun. And it’s one of the most powerful ways to nourish your body.
We’re not here to make you a chef—we’re here to help you remember that cooking is easy. Together.
Anna, the Whole Food Believer
My philosophy is simple: the best food is real food, and she’s here to inspire others to discover it for themselves.
Cooking has always been my way of connecting—with people, with moments, and with food itself. As a child, I was always in the kitchen: hands in flour while baking, helping my mum prepare dinners.
But food hasn’t always felt joyful. I’ve seen how diet culture can distort our relationship with eating, which led me to explore what truly nourishes us. The answer was simple: real, natural ingredients.
With Herbs & Sun, I want to help others rediscover that joy. Cooking doesn’t need to be complicated —it can be healthy, grounding, and surprisingly fun.
Aleks, the Comfort-Food Hostess
I believe good food isn’t just eaten—it’s shared, savoured, and remembered.
Hi, I’m Aleks, a woman in my early 30s with a love for all things cosy and comforting — from the rolling hills of the English countryside and chocolate-box cottages to the thrill of horse racing and long walks that end in a friendly pub with a pint. I’m passionate about good food and even more passionate about sharing it. Whether it’s a laid-back BBQ, a dinner party with friends, or a casual cooking class, I love feeding people and creating moments around the table. You’ll often find me treasure hunting in charity shops for vintage finds — especially old China pottery, which adds a special touch to every meal.
Why we do this
For some, art means painting. For us, it’s cooking. We believe that each dish is a chance to discover, express, and connect. Our classes are built on a few simple beliefs:
Nourishment
Forget processed foods and quick-fix food replacements.
We will focus on natural, local ingredients and recipes that not only taste good, but makes your body happy.
Curiosity
Embrace the courage to try new ingredients and flavours.
Cooking is an adventure, and there’s always something new to discover.
Connection
Meals taste better when shared.
We believe food brings people together, and our classes are a space to cook, laugh, and create memories—together.
Seasonality
Nature knows best.
We celebrate what’s fresh and in season, supporting local growers and working in harmony with the rhythm of the year.
