Here at The Cobbled Kitchen, I want to help you cook as people cooked years ago, without recipes, without fuss and using whatever you happen to have in already.

Cooking from scratch; a more sustainable way to feed ourselves - better for our health and better for our planet

Cooking from scratch will soon become very easy to you, indeed.

Real food - no cakes, bakes or desserts - just good food that keeps us healthy!

the art of instinctive cooking

Are you feeling stressed about feeding yourself or your family well?
Are you having to make different meals for different tastes in your family?
Do you have a young person who could do with some steering in the kitchen so they don’t end up living on pot-noodles?!
Do you want to do the right thing for your health and for the planet?
Have you realised that the food you eat is mostly produced by a corporation instead of a human?
Or maybe you are a foodie who loves to cook but would like to branch out and try something different?

Look no further for confidence boosting

Cookery Classes and Courses.

I want to get more people cooking more often and from scratch! It’s better for our health and for our planet! I want to re-connect people with food and its provenance. I also want people to view cooking as a creative, mindful and cathartic time in their day to produce something they can be proud of. I also want to re-awaken that instinctive understanding of what flavours will work together and to give you the confidence to just try things out. I will help you to prepare and share food with family and friends by creating meals that may well be "cobbled together", but always delicious and nutritious.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, all classes now take place here in my home kitchen. I will guide you through every step - no need to keep checking cookbooks and internet recipes, no more disappointing results.
