Online Cookery Consultations

By Leave a Comment

I’m very pleased to now be able to offer Online Cookery Consultations. These sessions will be entirely on a one to one basis with me. A personal class, designed to help you in any way I can. These are a great way to learn in a way that’s entirely focussed on you and your questions, at a time and place that suits you. It’s great for busy people, or for anyone who can’t get to a cookery class, or if one to one tuition is best for you. 

My Online Consultations will give you the opportunity to have your cookery queries answered by me, a qualified and highly experienced cookery writer, teacher and chef. The sessions have been designed to offer you fantastic value for money, compared to the cost of attending a cookery class, and to give you personalised one to one advice.

Some of the areas I may be able to help you with are:

  • Can you give me some ideas for new recipes to make?
  • Why does X go wrong every time I make it?
  • I don’t know how to do X or Y, can you help?
  • Which bits of kitchen kit would you recommend?
  • Do you have some suggestions for great recipes?
  • I’m re-doing my kitchen. What are your recommendations?
  • Which suppliers or ingredients do you recommend?
  • I’m planning a party. What advice can you give to help me make it special?

And much more. Please give me an outline of any questions you may have beforehand, to help me to plan. This is not intended to be a hands-on cookery class via video, although there may be things I can show you, depending on what it is. 

There sessions available are:

A Special Recipe and Discount from Hello Fresh

Speedy Sausage Pasta from Hello Fresh

I was recently contacted by Hello Fresh with whom I am collaborating to bring you this post.

Hello Fresh are the U.K.’s Number One recipe box delivery service. I know many customers attending my cookery classes use the service. Recipe box delivery services effectively take shopping out of the equation for customers wanting to cook from scratch, but are limited on time for planning and acquiring ingredients. Hello Fresh offer a subscription service to customers, allowing them to choose the number of meals they would like provided each week, and then to choose which dishes they would like from the selection. The final choice is the number portions required, and then Hello Fresh will deliver all the ingredients you need to make the recipes you have chosen for the number of people you require. Recipes change each week, and one can take a break from the subscription if needed. 

My customers who use this service find it works well practically, saving them time on shopping, and they like receiving the exact ingredients required, rather than keeping large stocks of ingredients in. I also hear that many customers enjoy trying new dishes they might not have tried otherwise by using the service.

In collaborating with Hello Fresh, I am very pleased to share this Speedy Sausage Pasta recipe (photographed) that caught my eye on the website, and also a special discount for you, offering £10 of a delivery, using this link. Please let me know how you get on if you give it a go. 

This is a sponsored post, written in collaboration with Hello Fresh. It is one of a very small number of sponsored posts for which I receive payment. All proceeds are used to fund the costs of running and maintaining this website.
