Methodology

My teaching method is very simple I always start at the basics of cooking. I like to introduce & teach my students about healthy ingredients, alternatives to animal products, the use of eco- environment friendly products where possible. As some individuals have special dietary requirements, I like to address that, prefer to explore the nutritional needs & curiosity about their favourite tastes then step by step.

My students can pick one of my Vegan/ Vegetarian/ Gluten free recipes from my recipe book or we can cook up a new recipe together as a team. I will guide my students through the process of preparing the ingredients, how to slice/ dice ingredients, boil, bake, fry, steam & cook healthy food all while having fun & not rushing through the beautiful process of creating your own personalised dishes handmade by you & me. From buying the ingredients at the shop to serving the handmade dish on your table, I will be by your side happily through the process :)

I base my classes on individual needs and requirements of my students & teach according to what you would like to learn. No pressure, No stress, No shame, I believe cooking should be a fun, memorable, healthy, learning experience not rushed or too serious. This is one of the best methods to remember a new recipe when you have fun & enjoy the process & see your progress by your own eyes, made by your own hands then taste your own cooking. Nothing else beats that feeling of pure, creative nature of self made food. Nothing gives me more joy than to see my students learning how to feed themselves in a healthy, knowledgeable approach.

I like to take full responsibility for my students & make sure they go back home having learned something new from me, so they can try it on their own, build their confidence as a cook. I also make sure my students constant progress by giving them fun homework's & mini challenges in the kitchen to experiment after the lesson with me & try what they learned from our session on their own time.

I approach each topic with patience & time the student may require in my one on one private sessions. I fully understand & respect that students may need time to get comfortable learning from a new tutor & might experience, feel shy etc. There is no shame in feeling shy or not knowing anything about cooking. We all start somewhere. Great things take time, effort, patience & courage to learn then master it.

I have personally been through that process over & over through good times and hard times/ failure so I can completely relate to your needs & learning process. Let's learn to enjoy the process of learning & creating and I encourage you take your time.

Group sessions can be harder to give my full attention to each student attending, but regardless, I still try my best to meet your learning needs & take you through the process of learning to cook something new & have a overall great, positive vibe / experience from our sessions.
