Cook along live from your own kitchen – and fall in love with tofu (yes, really)

Tofu is often misunderstood – bland, rubbery, uninspiring. But in the right hands, it becomes savoury, satisfying, and even sweet. Join Chef Alex in this 2-hour interactive masterclass and discover just how delicious (and versatile) tofu can be.

From crispy satay tofu to indulgent chocolate pots, you’ll explore a world of techniques and textures – frying, marinating, blending, baking – all while cooking in real time from your own kitchen.

What you’ll make

Cook along with Alex to create three delicious tofu dishes you’ll want to make again and again:

  • Pad Thai with crispy tofu
  • Satay tofu with peanut sauce
  • Chocolate tofu pots

(Ingredient lists and prep notes will be sent ahead of time so you're ready to go.)


Why cook along from home?

  • Get hands-on experience in your own kitchen – so you're confident cooking these dishes again
  • Learn to work with your own equipment and ingredients – no fancy kit required
  • Discover how tofu fits into your lifestyle – with tips tailored to what you already have
  • Build skills more effectively – since you're cooking every step yourself, you’ll retain more
  • Create food that tastes great to you, with guidance and encouragement every step of the way

Why tofu?

Tofu isn’t just a meat substitute – it’s a powerhouse of plant-based nutrition, used for over 2,000 years. Learn how to shop for it, choose between silken and firm, smoked or sweet, and how to turn it into something truly exciting.

Even if you think you don’t like tofu, Chef Alex has converted countless doubters over 20 years of teaching. (He’s still not a fan of gooseberries – but tofu? Game changer.)
