The UK's First Independent Online Cookery School Directory: lookingtocook.co.uk

The website currently lists in excess of 150 cookery schools that are easily searchable by region, course type and cost. For example, learn how to make artisan bread in a clay oven in a Birmingham back garden or Michelin-starred dishes at the home of celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.

New reviews and more in-depth profiles of schools are added daily and are also searchable by use of an interactive map. There is a news section featuring the latest openings and cookery events, useful seasonal round-ups and a blog with expert cookery tips, competitions, discounts and videos.

Looking to Cook has been developed by Nick Wyke, who works as a freelance food writer and digital food and drink editor at The Times. "The nation's love for all things culinary continues to grow and people are keen to get hands-on experience and learn new techniques," says Nick.

"There are hundreds of exciting courses out there and Looking to Cook is the quickest way to find what you're looking for." He adds: "Our team of experts has been visiting cookery schools for many years, and knows the right ingredients for a great experience."

Looking to Cook also offers a range of social media and web content services for cookery schools and food businesses.
