Welcome to Blend Culinary Foundation

A Bold Vision for Change

At the heart of Blend Family, we are passionate about creating vibrant, diverse food halls. But we’re also committed to something bigger – alleviating food poverty, enhancing food education, and uniting communities through food. Every penny raised through our Blend Culinary Foundation is reinvested to support this mission.

We provide meals for those in need, support food education programmes, and bring people together around shared culinary experiences. Through community initiatives and corporate partnerships, we help tackle food insecurity while celebrating cultural diversity. 

Our Cookery School at Cambridge Street Collective in Sheffield is a flagship space. With 18 purpose-built workstations, it hosts cookery classes for all ages and occasions. 

It’s also where, through Corporate Pledge days, teams bond while preparing meals for food banks and contributing to our larger mission.

A new Cookery School will also be coming soon to Alfred Works food hall in Digbeth, Birmingham in early March so watch this space!

Our goal is ambitious—delivering one million meals to those in need. Every event, every lesson, and every effort contributes to this vision. But we can’t do it alone.

So, let’s cook, collaborate, and create real change together. Whether you’re a corporate group looking for a meaningful team-building experience or an individual eager to make a difference, we’d love to have you on board.

Whether you are looking for a Cooking Class or an event to attend with friends or family, we have something for everyone here at the Cookery School at Blend Culinary Foundation

Cooking & Cocktails

For businesses, groups and organisations, we also have our Corporate Pledge. A way to work together, build teams whilst preparing meals and giving back.

And of course, there is always some form of Family Fun available too. With classes for children or for families, we are here to teach cooking in a fun and inclusive way.
