One-on-One Culinary Coaching

£85.50 per session

Complete attention on your specific challenges

Private coaching gives you two hours of focused instruction tailored entirely to what you need. We can work in your kitchen or mine, depending on what makes sense for the techniques we're covering.

This format works best when you have specific goals: mastering a particular cuisine, overcoming a technique that's been frustrating you, or building confidence in an area where you feel stuck.

What a typical session includes:

Assessment of your current skill level and goals
Hands-on practice with immediate correction
Technique explanation focused on transferable principles
Troubleshooting common problems specific to what you're learning
Follow-up resources and practice recommendations

You'll spend most of the session actively cooking, not watching demonstrations. I'm there to guide, answer questions, and catch errors before they become habits.

Small Group Cooking Workshop

£47.25 per person

Hands-on learning with individual attention

Limited to four participants maximum. Each workshop focuses on a specific theme—Italian pasta making, Middle Eastern mezze, seasonal preserving, bread fundamentals—and runs for three hours.

Unlike traditional cooking classes where you watch a chef perform, you'll work throughout the entire session. Everyone gets their own workspace and ingredients. You make mistakes, fix them, and learn through doing.

Workshop structure:

Brief introduction to techniques and ingredients
Hands-on preparation with individual guidance
Real-time troubleshooting and adjustment
Shared meal using what you've prepared
Recipe packet and technique summary to take home

The small group size means you still get personalized feedback throughout the session. I can watch how you're working and provide specific corrections, not just general advice to the whole room.

Recipe Development & Testing

£125.00 per project

Reliable recipes that work in real kitchens

For food bloggers, small food businesses, or anyone who needs tested, repeatable recipes. This isn't about creative inspiration—it's about taking an idea and turning it into instructions that produce consistent results.

The process includes multiple test rounds, detailed documentation, and variations for common ingredient substitutions or dietary restrictions.

What you receive:

Initial consultation to understand the recipe goal
Three test rounds with adjustments between each
Detailed recipe with precise measurements and timing
Troubleshooting notes for common issues
Ingredient flexibility guidance
Scaling instructions for different batch sizes

Timeline is typically two to three weeks, depending on the recipe complexity and how many variations you need documented.

Knife Skills Masterclass

£62.80 per class

Two hours focused entirely on technique

Proper knife skills make everything else in the kitchen easier and safer. This intensive session covers grip, cutting angles, and the muscle memory that turns slow, careful chopping into fast, confident prep work.

You'll practice on a variety of ingredients—onions, carrots, herbs, proteins—until the movements start to feel natural. We work on accuracy first, then build speed as your form improves.

Skills covered:

Proper grip and hand positioning
Claw technique for finger safety
Different cuts: dice, julienne, chiffonade, brunoise
Protein breakdown basics
Knife maintenance and sharpening overview

Bring your own knives or use the house set. Either way, you'll learn what to look for in a good knife and how to maintain it properly.

Baking Fundamentals Course

£178.50 for 4-week course

Four consecutive weeks building core baking skills

Each session is three hours and covers a major category: bread, pastry, cakes, and cookies. The structure is cumulative—concepts from week one inform what we do in week four.

Baking is precise, but it's not mysterious. Once you understand how ingredients interact and learn to recognize proper texture and development, you stop being confused by recipes.

Weekly breakdown:

Week 1 - Bread: Yeast handling, gluten development, fermentation timing
Week 2 - Pastry: Fat incorporation, lamination, blind baking
Week 3 - Cakes: Mixing methods, structure building, moisture balance
Week 4 - Cookies: Spread control, texture variation, flavor development

Limited to four participants. Each person works through recipes individually with guidance. You'll take home everything you make, plus detailed notes and additional recipes for practice.

Seasonal Meal Planning

£95.75 per month

Learn to plan flexibly instead of rigidly

Monthly planning sessions that teach you to build meal frameworks rather than strict menus. The goal is developing a system that adapts to what's available, in season, and on sale.

This works especially well for people who feel overwhelmed by daily cooking decisions or who waste food because they buy ingredients for specific recipes, then never make them.

Each monthly session includes:

Seasonal ingredient review and selection
Framework building for adaptable meals
Batch cooking and prep strategies
Storage and preservation techniques
Recipe suggestions based on your preferences
Mid-month check-in and adjustment

After a few months, most people have internalized the system and don't need ongoing sessions. But the monthly structure works well while you're building the habit.

How to choose the right option

If you have specific techniques you want to master or prefer complete customization, start with one-on-one coaching. You can always move to group workshops later if you want the social aspect.

If you learn well with others and want structure around specific topics, workshops give you that format while keeping the group small enough for individual attention.

If you're a food professional or blogger who needs reliable recipes, recipe development handles that specialized need.

If knife work is your main barrier to cooking confidence, the knife skills masterclass addresses that directly in two focused hours.

If you want comprehensive baking knowledge, the four-week course covers all the foundational categories in a logical progression.

If daily meal decisions overwhelm you, seasonal meal planning gives you a framework that reduces decision fatigue.
