Food is a tool to help people bond, relax, have fun, and take time out from everyday routines.
The food will be delicious and you will get satisfaction from learning new techniques... But these private group classes are so much more than that. They are about the experience of preparing and eating food to bond and bring people together.
Classes are child friendly and suitable for all skill levels!
A TASTE OF INDIA
Tarka Dahl Soup served with Turmeric Flatbread
Super healthy, super easy and totally delicious.
The flatbread is a quick and easy recipe, that requires little kneading nor any rising. We will also discuss different uses for the dough.
Plenty of opportunities to chat, especially when making the flatbreads. There can also be a competition of the best shaped flatbreads.
Once people have made this recipe, it tends to be a regular homemade dish.

Flexible and creative ideas that can be designed for your special event.
VIRTUAL COOKING CLASS PARTIES
Create memories and shared experiences with your loved ones that are far away … we don’t have to be physically together - time to use the amazing technology and fun offerings that are now on offer.
Connecting Friends and Family from around the world… Virtual cooking classes.
How does it work?
These are interactive virtual classes so there will be time to discuss, answer questions and chat among yourselves.
The classes are designed for adults, or at least with adult supervision unless stated as a children’s class.
Sometimes there might be some preparation beforehand, but I will let you know in advance.
The cameras are set up so that you will have two views, that switch between one straight on, and the other close up looking down at the counter.
Most classes are 2 hours long but can be adapted to suit our clients’ needs.
1. DATE AND TIME
We will work out a mutually beneficial time for all of the participants.
I am flexible with days and times to suit world time zones. See some suggested times below.
I am also flexible with the length of the class - as a guide, most classes run 1.5-2 hours long.
2. MENU AND SHOPPING LIST
You choose a menu from my list of suggested classes on my home page, or we do a bespoke one.
I will then send out an ingredients and equipment list, giving plenty of time for a shop. We have vegetarian alternatives and will try to find alternatives for other diets.
Some equipment and dry ingredients can be shipped, depending on location and preference.
3. THE INVITE
I create an invite for your guests to then register; upon registering, they will receive the recipe card and the meeting link.
I will then keep the organiser updated on the list of people signed up.
A reminder a few days before the class will be sent out.
4. OPTIONAL FUN EXTRAS
To help bring things together, we can also offer competitions and quizzes, fun virtual backgrounds, music playlists, a dress code, and cocktail/mocktail making.
5. INGREDIENT PACKS
Starter packs can be sent out, you will just need to get the fresh ingredients in.
Location and preference dependent.
6. THE INVESTMENT
£100 for up to 4 screens, £10 per screen thereafter.
