Before you think I am a horrible boss, this isn't a post saying "my nanny can't cook!"! :0)


My wonderful nanny is really keen on learning to cook more. Hubby and I enjoy cooking and we like the kids to eat fresh stuff, and often cook in the evening for the kids meals the next day. My nanny is keen on learning to cook more, and I was wondering if there were and classes around that people would recommend to get her some initial confidence? Nothing fancy at all, I would love to spend time to help her but by definition we don't have much time together.


Any ideas gratefully received!

I've done quite a few cooking courses and the best one that's stood me in good stead is actually a knife skills one that was run by Japanese Knife Co. We did it as a group so it wasn't so ridiculously expensive, but I always highly recommend doing a course like this anywhere as it speeds up the process of cooking massively and gives you a lot of confidence in food prep!

If you're really looking for a class she can attend, I recently spent the evening at the Konditor and Cook Cake School and they mentioned they are running cookery courses now too.


I see they do private sessions, maybe worth exploring?

A friend of mine was getting a little concerned about her children's diet and asked her nanny to use the Change4Life website, it has great recipes for kids (and parents). It all went so well that the nanny then told me all about the amazing meals she was preparing (lots of slow-cooking so she could it fit in with their busy schedule), and I now cook a few of their recipes.

They have a recipe App, or you can just print them out, and I think they do a monthly recipe plan too so you could get involved.

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
