Seasonal Dinner Party Menu Masterclass

Dining Experience - Divertimenti Cookery School

Join Jo Pratt for this inspiring Seasonal Dinner Party Masterclass designed to take the stress out of entertaining and give you the confidence to host beautiful, effortless dinner parties at home.

This hands-on class covers a delicious three-course seasonal menu, brought together with straightforward, approachable cooking techniques and Jo’s signature relaxed style. The focus is on food that looks impressive yet remains achievable, with an emphasis on stylish, attractive presentation and clever ideas that elevate simple dishes.

Throughout the session, you’ll take part in hands-on cooking, picking up invaluable tips along the way, smart make-ahead strategies, and adaptable recipes that can be easily tailored to suit different dietary requirements and guest preferences.

Jo will also share insights from her cookbooks, including her flexible approach to cooking that helps you build confidence, reduce stress, and make entertaining feel genuinely enjoyable rather than overwhelming.

At the end of the class, everyone will gather to sit down together and enjoy the three-course menu you’ve helped create, accompanied by a glass of wine or a soft drink.

You’ll leave feeling inspired, well-prepared, and ready to host stylish, stress-free dinner parties with ease - whatever the occasion or season.

- Grilled Mackerel with Beetroot, Fennel and Hazelnut Granola

- Crispy Tarragon Chicken with White Bean, Leek and Mustard Mash
