For housekeepers, beginner cooks, cooks looking to build up their repertoire, corporate and social team builds, kiddies, tweens and teens classes and parties.

My classes provide that rare combination of having fun while learning something new. My kitchen provides a unique learning environment for casual “hands-on” cookery courses. This means you get your hands busy in lessons that are informative, creative and good clean fun! The cooking “classroom” is a beautifully fitted and equipped kitchen. Lessons take place weekly, either in the mornings or evenings. Courses vary in length from 1 single lesson to 6 lessons.
Classes are taught by Kelly who has 25 years’ experience teaching cookery classes.

All ingredients and course materials are included in the fee.
