Connect, Collaborate and Create Relationships
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 the classes are so much more than that. They are about the experience of preparing and eating food to bond and bring people together.

A TASTE OF INDIA
Tarka Dahl Soup served with Turmeric Flatbread
Super healthy, super easy and totally delicious.
A soup full of flavours and goodness.
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.
GLAMOROUS & FABULOUS
Champagne Jellies and Chocolate Florentines
Chocolate Florentines are sweet treats and make great gifts. We will cook the fruit and nut base and then work with melted chocolate to add the base layer.
Delicious champagne jellies, learn how to work with gelatine to create a sophisticated jelly with the Wow! factor. There are alcohol free options too.
The class is designed to allow you to take one glass of fizz out of the bottle to enjoy while cooking or to save for later.
A competition will also be held for the most attractive looking jelly!

BESPOKE SESSION
Got something else in mind?
Flexible and creative ideas that can be designed for your special event.
Virtual Workshops.
We help you build cohesive relationships and a strong team environment. Virtual cooking experiences help you grow personal relationships when your global team is in the virtual world.
How does it work?
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 can create a branded 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
Most people prefer to source themselves, however, dry ingredients and speciality equipment (eg sushi mat) can be delivered, and an Amazon shopping list can be provided too.
Location and preference dependent.
6. THE INVESTMENT
Just drop me a message with approximate numbers and what you fancy doing and we can talk numbers.
We can take card payments and bank transfers.
