Course Curriculum

Week 1

Foundations & the café kitchen

Everything starts here. You'll learn to handle a knife like a professional, break down vegetables and proteins cleanly, and build the backbone of all good cooking — proper stocks and the five French mother sauces (béchamel, velouté, espagnole, tomato and hollandaise). Alongside the craft come the non-negotiables of a commercial kitchen: food hygiene and safety, temperature control, and how a real café kitchen is set up and run. By the end of the week you'll understand the why behind cooking — heat, seasoning, emulsions and timing — not just the steps.
Week 2

Breakfast & brunch

Breakfast and brunch are where most cafés make their name, so we go deep. You'll master eggs in every form — perfectly poached for Eggs Benedict under a silky hollandaise, soft scrambles, and a classic folded French omelette — along with café favourites like shakshuka, French toast and crisp golden hash browns. The focus is the consistency and speed a busy brunch service demands, so every plate looks and tastes the same.
Week 3

Soups, salads & bowls

A café lives on its lighter menu, and this week covers the full range. You'll move from a hearty minestrone and a velvety roasted-pumpkin soup to a deeply caramelised French onion and a chilled summer gazpacho. On the cold side, you'll build salads and grain bowls that actually sell — a Greek salad, a classic salad niçoise, a rustic panzanella, and lighter modern options built on quinoa, couscous and fattoush — learning to dress, balance and plate them so they're as good to look at as they are to eat.
Week 4

Sandwiches & wraps

This is the high-velocity heart of a café menu — the food people order again and again. You'll learn café handhelds from a classic croque monsieur to grilled-vegetable and pesto sandwiches, plus café burgers like a juicy mushroom burger and a buffalo chicken burger.

Week 5

Global sharing & small plates

Then you'll move into global sharing plates — mezze such as hummus, muhammara, baba ghanoush and falafel, alongside spanakopita, chicken satay and steamed bao. This is also where menu and plate costing begins: you start costing the dishes you cook, so you know exactly what each one makes you.
Week 6

Café mains across cuisines

Now the range opens up. You'll cook signature café mains across the cuisines a modern menu draws on — Italian (a creamy risotto, melanzane alla parmigiana, pollo alla cacciatore), Mexican and pan-Asian. The goal is versatility — the confidence to build a menu that isn't boxed into a single cuisine, and to execute every dish on it consistently.
Who it's for

For people who are serious about opening a café

No prior professional cooking experience needed — just the intent to build something of your own, and the willingness to learn it properly.

The first-time founder

You want to open a café, and you know it starts with being able to cook a real menu. This is where you build that foundation — fast, and to a professional standard.

The professional making the leap

You're moving from a corporate career toward something of your own. Start with the craft: learn whether you love the kitchen, and learn to cook in it well.

The cloud-kitchen & café builder

You're launching a café or a delivery-first brand. Get the food right first — a menu that works, cooked consistently, and costed so you know your numbers.
