Michael is the head tutor of Northcote Cookery
School. A former student of Thomas Danby
College, Leeds, he has worked for many
exclusive UK establishments and honed his
talent for teaching as an inspirational tutor

Harrogate. He joined the brigade at Northcote
bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and
a passion for food which will inspire everyone
who joins him at the school.
Whatever the occasion, Northcote’s Cookery School offers endless opportunities for
everyone from the complete beginner to the experienced home chef.

I was bought a one day course by my wife for my 40th Birthday and what an amazing day! I attended the ‘Mid Summer Dinner Party’ course
with Nigel Haworth and the Cookery School tutor, Michael Vanheste. The experience was fantastic and I learned to use techniques and ingredients I would probably not have attempted in a domestic environment.
