Private Demonstrations

There is something rather special about gathering around a kitchen table and sharing the simple pleasure of good food. Whether you choose to host a private demonstration in your own home or spend time in Gee’s beautiful home kitchen near Stockbridge, these sessions are designed to be relaxed, welcoming and full of warmth. They’re perfect for bringing people together — perhaps as a pre-wedding celebration, a charity fundraiser, a group of friends marking a milestone, or an association looking for a shared experience with a difference.

More than just a cookery demonstration, it’s a morning of conversation, laughter and discovery. Watching dishes come together in front of you — with tips, techniques and little secrets shared along the way — builds confidence and sparks new ideas to take back into your own kitchen. Guests leave not only well fed and inspired, but with a renewed enthusiasm for cooking at home and the joy that comes from creating and sharing food with others.

Vouchers

Gift vouchers are available to purchase for demonstrations and private lessons. Please contact Gee directly, all vouchers will be valid for one year from date of issue.

Aga Demonstrations

An Aga is so much more than a cooker — it’s the heart of a kitchen and, for many, the heart of the home. Whether you’ve chosen to install one as part of a renovation project or have moved into a property already blessed with its steady warmth, learning how to truly cook on an Aga can transform the way you use your kitchen. It’s not about dials and quick temperature changes; it’s about understanding heat, timing and rhythm — and embracing a wonderfully different way of preparing food.

My Aga demonstrations are designed to help you build confidence and develop that distinctive Aga mindset. You’ll discover how to make the most of each cavity, how to plan dishes so everything comes together effortlessly, and how to use the gentle, radiant heat to achieve beautifully cooked results. With practical guidance, reassuring tips and plenty of inspiration, you’ll leave feeling at ease with your Aga — ready to enjoy its unique character and the delicious food it can produce.

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.

Private Family Lesson

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.
