In-Home Classes
Through in-home cooking classes, you will learn hands-on how to cook the dishes you love to eat in the comfort of your kitchen. Together, we create a customised menu so you benefit the most out of this lesson. These can be demonstration or hands-on. Hands-on classes work best when 4 people or less are in the group.
The menu is tailored to suit your needs. You may choose 4 dishes from the list below. One dish is required from every group to make a complete meal.
Please contact me to discuss your menu plan and if you have any special requests.
Group Parties
Why not Host a cooking party with your friends? What better way to have fun while learning how to cook your favourite dishes in the company of your friends!
Please note: a suitable kitchen, work bench, viewing area is required so all participants benefit. A hands-on class may not be suitable if there are more than 4 people in which case I recommend a demonstration style class. Participation is optional.
Please advise me if you have any allergies or special dietry requirements.
Time
Classes run for around 3 hours. Approximately 2 ½ hours are spent cooking with half an hour at the end to enjoy your meal. Times can vary depending on menu and number of participants.
