FAQs
We’re trying to break the record for the largest cooking lesson ever! The current record is 6,778 participants and was achieved by the Partnership for Health in Poland, with 89 schools taking part on 6 November 2015.
Just register using the links above and we’ll follow up with you on how to prepare best for the record over the next few months.
Yes, we’ll be closing registrations on 24 June 2025, so please register early to avoid missing out!
The only cost for the day will be your ingredients.
Yes, the Guinness World Record team will require proof that everyone has participated, that’s why every classroom or event space will need someone to act as a witness, to time the event and provide evidence, as well as a steward to confirm that everyone follows the cooking class as instructed or doesn’t leave the event, but don’t worry this can be a teacher, parent or friend – we’ll be sharing details closer to the time.
It shouldn’t affect the whole attempt, but it could impact your team as at least 15 people are required per class, and if someone doesn’t complete the cooking class out of your group of 15, that class would not count to the final record but you can still have fun!
Children can absolutely take part, but, yes, they will need adult supervision, especially as we are working with boiling water. Jamie Oliver has a comprehensive health and safety guide here for more information.
