The Demonstrations

What to expect

Demonstrations are run in a relaxed and friendly way with the opportunity to ask lots of questions and plenty of time for tasting. Top tips are given on preparing ahead, freezing and sourcing ingredients.

I’ll be welcoming you from 10.00am with fresh coffee and a slice of homemade cake, giving everyone a chance to settle in and have a chat before we begin promptly at 10.30am.

The morning will be relaxed and informal, with me guiding you through each of the recipes step by step. You’ll have a printed copy in front of you to follow along and make your own notes, while I demonstrate everything in the kitchen, sharing tips, techniques and little secrets along the way.

There will be plenty of opportunities to taste each of the dishes as we go — so do come with an appetite, as you certainly won’t need lunch afterwards! At the end of the session, you’ll head home with a beautifully prepared booklet containing all of the recipes from the morning, so you can recreate them in your own kitchen.

There’s no need to bring anything other than yourself — pens will be provided for jotting down any extra notes or inspiration. I expect to finish around 1.00–1.15pm, leaving you with a full morning of ideas, flavours and enjoyment.

There will also be a small selection of handpicked kitchen essentials available to purchase on the day — lovely, practical pieces that make ideal gifts. Happy to accept card payments, cash or bank transfer.

I very much look forward to welcoming you.

Feedback from my demonstrations

Here are some photos from last weekend when we did your recipes - we had an amazing feast. So many compliments and a friend and I finished the risotto for lunch today - yum!

Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed cooking with you yesterday evening. It was really great fun and it was wonderful for us all to do an activity together. We loved the menu and the results were truly delicious! Thank you so much for tailoring such a lovely event just for us.

Thank you Gee, I don’t often get it right but this was superb! It just goes to show – follow the recipe!! I have wanted to pan fry fish for years and never had the courage.

Diane, Hampshire

I just want to say how much I enjoyed your demonstration last week! As you may of heard I was put to work quickly. I made the risotto on Thursday & the strawberry on Friday. Both were excellent! I am in awe of your speed & ability to cover so many recipes in the time!

Val, Hampshire

A very belated thank you for another terrific cooking demonstration - I just love all the recipes and have been having a go! Hope all the demos were a great success - please keep doing them.

Jane, London

Today was outstanding, great fun and informative, I can’t wait to try out the recipes. A huge thank you, you really have given me a lot of confidence. Keep doing what you are doing!

Rebecca, Hampshire

I just wanted to drop you a line to say how brilliant I thought you were. I think you’ve got the whole thing wrapped up so well, I was really impressed. I’ve cooked the chicken and made the granita – both divine. But it was the thought that had gone into it – selling the accessories, the tasting ‘egg boxes’ - all very clever. Thank you.
