Experts and specialists in bread and baking, cooking in a Bushman wood-fired oven and 'Fabulous Fish' courses, there will definitely be at least one course (if not six!) which appeals.

In addition to these fore mentioned courses, David and Holly also host Mediterranean cooking days, family days and children's pizza parties.

The name Manna from Devon refers to the biblical Manna from Heaven, the miraculous food which God caused to appear in the desert in order to sustain the Israelites on their flight from Egypt. The food made at Manna from Devon is indisputably 'heavenly'.

Manna from Devon Cooking School is positioned in an area of outstanding natural beauty in Kingswear.  The stylishly decorated, homely kitchen and the outdoors' decking overlook simply stunning views across the Dart estuary to Dartmouth.  In addition to the main kitchen there is a second kitchen which is in the style of a bakery.   One thing is guaranteed, the minute you walk through the door of the cooking school David and Holly will make you feel very much at home.
