Padstow's Newest Culinary Gem: Mahé Cookery School

Padstow's newest culinary gem, Mahé Cookery School, opened its doors this summer, offering an intimate and unique dining experience. The space, once a humble one-bedroom flat, has been transformed into a charming cookery school by day and an exclusive chef's table by night, all thanks to the innovative Ainsworth family.

The Ainsworths envisioned a space that harkened back to its origins, blending luxury with comfort. Emma Ainsworth and Eve Cullen-Cornes, an interior designer from Jonathan Cornes Associates, brought this vision to life. They designed the cookery school, with Eve suggesting upholstered velvet doors and chandeliers crafted from bike wheels, subtly nodding to a garage aesthetic.

John Walton, the groups' executive chef, now teaches daytime classes from Thursday to Saturday, accommodating up to six people. The space is not just about cooking, but also about storytelling, as it pays homage to the Seychelles island where Paul's parents first met.

The transformation was no small feat. Johnson Carpentry and Joinery manufactured and installed all the internal joinery, workspace units, entrance door, and rear terrace finishes and pergola. Meanwhile, AMPS Electrical Services Ltd handled the electrical installation, including the wiring of the lighting control system, fire alarm, and ventilation.

Mahé Cookery School is more than just a place to learn to cook; it's an experience that celebrates beginnings, Cornish produce, and the art of dining. With its unique design and intimate setting, it's set to become a beloved addition to Padstow's culinary scene.
