FAQs for all your Queries

Everything you need to know

Where are the classes held?

All classes take place in my welcoming home kitchen in Raynes Park, South West London (SW20), just a short walk from Raynes Park train station. Full address details are provided after booking.

Do I need any cooking experience?

My classes are suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to confident home cooks. I'll guide you through each recipe step-by-step, so you can cook with confidence.

What should I bring?

Just yourself and an appetite! I provide all ingredients, equipment and aprons. All you need is a willingness to learn, cook and enjoy some delicious food.

How long do the classes last?

Most classes are typically 3 hours long, depending on the menu. Exact timings can be found on each class page.

Will I receive the recipes?

Yes. You'll receive a digital recipe pack after the class so you can recreate the dishes at home for family and friends.

Do we get to eat the food?

Absolutely. One of the best parts of the experience is sitting down together to enjoy the dishes we've prepared during the class.

Can I attend on my own?

Of course. Many guests come on their own and quickly feel at home. My classes are friendly, relaxed and a great way to meet fellow food lovers.

Can children attend?

Children aged 15 and over are welcome when accompanied by an adult.

How many people are in each class?

I keep classes small and intimate to ensure everyone receives plenty of personal guidance and hands-on cooking time.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

I do my best to accommodate dietary requirements where possible in group classes. If you have specific dietary needs or allergies, please contact me before booking. For more specialised requirements, I recommend a private class.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please refer to the Terms & Conditions for full details. If you need to cancel, I will always try to help where possible, but refunds and transfers are subject to the notice period provided.

Can I buy a class as a gift?

Yes. Cooking classes make wonderful gifts for food lovers. Gift vouchers are available and can be redeemed against any available class.
