Through a mix of video lessons, live virtual workshops and hands on feedback, we help you to develop your own creations. You'll learn more about the tools and ingredients and how to train your craft. At the heart of each course is the cultural education behind the skills, gaining insider knowledge from local producers, suppliers and experts in their craft to give a deeper understanding of the context behind the techniques for example, you’re guided around the markets of Manila learning about local produce or taught by an Irish hunter about game meat as a sustainable alternative to industrial farming.
If you've been thinking about working on your skills for a while or are keen to learn from a specialist instructor who has a different perspective to your own either culturally or from a different skill area, Rassa provides the structure and the perfect opportunity to set aside the time to work on your skills. Learn from the comfort of your own home, whilst putting cultural education at the core making sure you learn the crucial context to the skills you are developing. You'll join a community of people all around the world with a shared interest of becoming a lifelong learner, who will be with you throughout your course as well as after in our alumni network.
The courses are ideal for both a hobbyist looking to take their skills to the next level or even for those more experienced looking to explore the teachings of a different culture. The instructors are on-hand to answer any technical or culture-related questions.
Yes, every course is entirely virtual, so you can learn from anywhere, all you need is wifi and a laptop, tablet or desktop computer. We’ve designed these courses to not just be convenient but also as interactive as possible: engage with your course peers from all around the world, ask the chefs questions, book onto live sessions and receive a pantry box of tools and ingredients for each module.
The majority of classes are pre-recorded so you can work through them on your own schedule. At the end of each module you will be able to book onto a live online workshop with the chef.
Yes, the chefs will be interacting with you and your peers answering any questions and giving support where they can. Every month you'll also take part in a live virtual workshop with one of the chefs and your course peers, where you can ask for more in-depth feedback on your creations and showcase your work.
Once the course starts you’ll be placed into a peer group with other cooks from around the world who will be taking the course at the same time as you. You can ask and answer questions, share your creations with each other and throughout each week the chefs will be checking in to answer any questions you have and help with troubleshooting.
The majority of the lessons are pre-recorded and so can be watched in your own time however, once a month you will have a live virtual workshop with a chef. For these live classes we try to be as flexible as possible to cater for different timezones around the world.
A minimum of half a day per week but by enrolling on one of our courses, you're making a commitment to your personal learning journey so we encourage you to get involved as much as possible - ask the instructors for feedback or answers to questions, engage with your course peers and read and watch the extra material. You can also pick between a 4-week and 12-week option.
We recommend doing a bit each week so that you don’t fall behind the rest of your peers but if you do we’ll help you get back on track.
For our courses, we provide you with a Rassa kit to get you started on the basics. For example, on one of our cooking courses we will provide the spices, oils and condiments to kick start your pantry and then we will provide a shopping list to source the fresh produce. There may be equipment needed specific to the course you have selected such as, a barbecue or blender, but once you enrol onto the course, you’ll have access to the full checklist of equipment you need as well as a few optional but nice-to-have pieces.
You will receive a box with a mix of tools or pantry ingredients (depending on your course), which have been hand-selected either for their cultural significance or to highlight an independent supplier. You will need to buy the rest of the ingredients, majority of which you should be able to find in your local supermarket/grocery store however, where there are less common items we will let you know where you can get your hands on them.
For the 90 day courses, the price is £37.50/$50 per week (billed monthly) which works out at a total of £449/$599. The price includes your Rassa kit of specialist tools and ingredients (for the cooking courses) for each month, video classes, weekly Q&A sessions and a live virtual workshop with the instructor at the end of each month.
We believe that education should be accessible to everyone and while our courses are more affordable than their IRL counterparts, we know that not everyone will have the available funds. So to give everyone a chance to invest in their personal development, we reserve a handful of seats every cohort that we offer for free. All you need to do to apply, is send us an email, and fill out a short form that we'll send over in our reply.
If within the first 5 days you decide this course isn’t for you, you want to try a different cuisine or life’s busy schedule gets in the way, we can give you a voucher matching the course price which you can redeem at a later date (valid for 12 months).
