Amelia's Kitchen - cookery courses and accommodation in the Yorkshire Dales Welcome to Amelia's Kitchen! We are Ed and Amelia. At the moment the kitchen is something of a work in progress. She is also studying for a WSET diploma in wine.

Having lived in Oxford for many years, first studying, then running a fun and fabulous pop-up cookery school with Sophie Grigson, we decided to move North to set up our own cookery school and B&B, as well as to be nearer to Ed's parents, who run a farm outside Kirkby Lonsdale. Step one - buying Manor Farm House in Halton Gill as our new home and business venture is complete. Step two is to do up t

he house and barn, and install a teaching kitchen. Watch this space to see how we go...

So who are we? Ed is a chemist by academic background, a farmer by family background, and a curious mind and problem solver by nature. Amelia's history lies in both the food and the literature of Italy (specifically Renaissance five-act comedy and the food of Garfagnana!). Her formal food training was a Cordon Bleu diploma at Tante Marie, followed by a couple of years of restaurant work. Above all, she loves to feed people and create a convivial atmosphere. Our dream is to share the pleasures of food, wine and hospitality in the midst of the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales. What could be more idyllic?

Our Story

Welcome to Amelia's Kitchen - A soon-to-be cookery school and B&B in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. We are Ed and Amelia. After many years in Oxford, first studying (both of us), then working in archaeology labs (Ed), and running a fun and fabulous pop-up cookery school with the equally fun and fabulous Sophie Grigson (Amelia), we decided the time had come for a new adventure. So here we are. For Ed, it is more of a return to his roots, having grown up on a farm near Kirkby Lonsdale. For me (well, it is Amelia’s kitchen - I think you might guess that it is Amelia who does the social media!), it is a chance to put down some new roots, and thus far, I love it. So who are we? Ed is a chemist by academic background, a farmer by family background, and a curious mind and problem solver by nature. He now works for B4RN, mapping the route for super-fast broadband for the rural North. My history lies in the food, wine, and literature of Italy (specifically Renaissance five-act comedy and the food of Garfagnana, where I also make wine!). My formal food training was a Cordon Bleu diploma at Tante Marie, followed by a couple of years of restaurant work. Being a learning addict, I am now studying for a WSET diploma in wine too. Above all, I love to feed people and create a convivial atmosphere. Our dream is to share the pleasures of food, wine and hospitality in the midst of the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales. What could be more idyllic?
