Vision
Y Sied Cookery School vision is to educate children & adults about food, where it comes from, how we grow it, and what we can do with it. It's not all sugar and sprinkles, we grow and harvest our vegetables, and we teach about traditional and wholesome family food. Food that sustains and feeds us.
At the heart of Y Sied is a belief that food education matters, with the understanding of where food comes from, how it grows, it's seasonality, and how cooking brings people together.
At Y Sied Cookery School we teach children & families practical food skills through hands-on cooking & gardening classes. Our aim is simple: to reconnect young people with real food, seasonal ingredients, and the confidence to cook from scratch, skills once passed naturally through generations.
What began as small local classes quickly grew through word of mouth, evolving into sessions for older children, teenagers and adults, all centred around wholesome food, creativity and community.
Founder Lisa Fearn has also shared her passion for seasonal cooking on Prynhawn Da & BBC Radio Wales , helping inspire families across Wales to cook with confidence and enjoy good food together.
Today, Y Sied continues that same ethos through cookery classes, workshops, events and café experiences rooted in Welsh hospitality, seasonal produce and simple, honest cooking
