Here at Kitchen Design Centre, we’re all about matching up style with substance. Our beautiful kitchens are created with the needs of busy couples and families in mind – from intuitive design, to state-of-the-art appliances from big brands like Neff and Quooker, our kitchens are a pleasure to cook in.
Every month, we host a two-hour cooking masterclass at one of our showrooms – the perfect way to demonstrate just how user-friendly our kitchens are. We invite experienced chefs and home economists in to guide local foodies through a wide variety of versatile dishes that can be tried out at home.
This month’s masterclass was another runaway success, thanks to the efforts of talented Neff home economist Karen Walker and Neff regional business manager, Derek Paton, who helped make our food-lovers welcome (and hungry!) over the course of the evening.
Will Hustler, one of Kitchen Design Centre’s designers, commented:
“This month’s Cooking Masterclass was a big success – these events are always a great opportunity for keen cooks around the North West to pick up some top tips from the professional chefs from Neff. There’s always a really friendly atmosphere, not to mention plenty of good food to try towards the end of the demonstration!
“Our thanks go not only to our guests for the evening, but to Karen and Derek from Neff, whose efforts made sure the evening went perfectly.”
If you fancy trying out one of the delicious recipes from this month’s Masterclass, you’ll find details for the leek, spinach and goat’s cheese tart at the bottom of the page!
Our cooking masterclasses are held every month and alternate between our Manchester, Blackburn and Colne showrooms. April’s Masterclass will be taking place at 7pm – 9pm on Thursday, 10th April in Colne. As ever, we’ll have a professional chef hosting the evening, during which you’ll get a chance to get up close and personal with a range of amazing dishes, not to mention our beautiful designer kitchens and Neff appliances.
If the chance to tickle your taste-buds by attending a cooking masterclass with a talented chef isn’t quite enough to tempt you, remember that everyone who attends a masterclass at our designer kitchen showrooms is entered into a prize draw to win a set of induction pans worth £125.
This month’s winner was the lovely Mrs Stevenson, who got a hug from our kitchen designer, Will Hustler, to go with her fabulous new Neff induction pans!

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
