Community Cookery

Kitchen Academy delivers practical cookery programmes for adults, families and community groups, working with organisations and community partners to make cooking accessible, enjoyable and useful.

Sessions can be delivered as one-off workshops or as part of a longer programme, and can take place in community centres, schools or outdoor settings.

Families & Community Groups

I have delivered cookery programmes for families and community groups across the South East, often working with groups over several weeks. Sessions can focus on preparing a complete meal, learning new cooking skills or simply bringing people together through food.

Adult Cookery

I regularly teach adult cookery classes, covering a wide range of cuisines and cooking styles. I also deliver freelance classes and private group sessions through community cookery venues.

Cooking Over Fire

I also deliver outdoor cooking sessions, using fire as a way to bring people together around food. These can be incorporated into community programmes, group activities and outdoor experiences
