Q. I’D LIKE A CHEF TO COOK FOR ME ON CHRISTMAS DAY / NEW YEAR’S EVE / NEW YEAR’S DAY. CAN YOU HELP?
and we’ll be happy to help!
A. Simply put, whatever you like! Our professional chefs are experienced in a wide range of cuisines, as well as being experts in ‘everyday’ cooking. If you want to learn how to cook a signature dish, get to grips with some specific skills, or work with some key ingredients, your chef will be delighted to help! As the lessons are one-to-one (or you can invite up to 2 friends to join you), your lesson will be tailored to your needs. If you have a specific cuisine you want to learn, please check with us that we have a suitable chef in your area before purchasing a voucher.
A. Once you have booked a date for the lesson, if you need to re-schedule or cancel, we will always do our best to help.
Please note: a surcharge may apply for certain high-cost ingredients, such as lobster, caviar, oysters, truffles etc. This will be confirmed to you on booking, should you wish to include such ingredients in your lesson.
A. Our barbecue lessons at home work in the same way as our ‘kitchen’ cooking lessons, in that they are 3 hours, for up to 3 people and all ingredients are included. You need to provide the BBQ (and charcoal etc) and your chef will teach you how to cook meat, fish and veggie dishes to perfection. Should it rain on the day, your lesson will continue under cover or in your kitchen.

A. We generally serve only London postcodes (W, WC, E, EC, N, NW, SW, SE). If you give a voucher to someone who lives outside of London, but you live in London and are happy for them to use your kitchen for their cooking lesson or dinner party, this would be fine. We can sometimes help if you live further afield as we have talented chefs dotted around the country, but please
A. All of the chefs are passionate about food and love nothing more than sharing that passion with others. They have years of experience and will enjoy helping you improve your skills whatever your current level of cooking (from complete novice to advanced). They can teach you skills and ‘trade secrets’ to increase your confidence in the kitchen, as well as helping you understand more about ingredients and how to use them well. You can also ask all of those cookery questions that have been puzzling you!
