Cooking lessons in your own home

Recommended Posts

Hey, I?m a New Zealand born chef based in Crofton Park. I hold a diploma of Culinary Arts from Auckland University of Technology and a London City and Guilds Culinary Arts diploma. I?ve worked in the hotel and restaurant industry for the last ten years, in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Edinburgh and London. I?ve also managed the kitchens of two meditation retreat centres, on in NSW, Australia, and one in California, USA, so I have a lot of experience in vegetarian, healthy cooking.


I?m new to this forum, and I?ve seen a few requests for cooking classes. I?ve recently taken a step back from working in kitchens, although I still love cooking and food, and I?m passionate about simple, healthy and easy cooking. I would love to help people find their confidence in the kitchen!


I?m posting here to see if there is any interest for cooking lessons in your own kitchen? What I propose is an initial phone conversation and/or email conversation, so I can gain insights into your likes and dislikes, allergies, (or other dietary information) and any cuisines or dishes you would like to learn in particular. I could then email over a list of shopping ingredients (with recommendations of which product in particular is the best quality). Then, on the chosen day, once you have purchased the ingredients, I could come around to your house and help you cook lunch or dinner for your family, teaching you skills and techniques as we go. (I could then disappear, so you could take all the credit?)


This could also work if you were thinking about hiring a chef for a special occasion, but want to learn how to do it yourself for next time, or if you wanted to have a fun cooking lesson with your children!


I?m imagining each initial consultation to take around 30 minutes, and each session to last about three hours, with the option to go longer or shorter, depending on what you chose to cook, with the whole package costing about ?80.


So for starters, is this something that people would be interested in? If yes, please get in touch! My email address is [email protected]. As I mentioned, this is an entirely new concept for me, so if you have any advice, if you think the price is too high or too low, or if you have any general feedback, please let me know also!

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
