My name is Amanda, and I am excited to share my passion for cooking with the children and families in our community. Cooking has always been a central part of my life, deeply rooted in cherished memories and family traditions.
Growing up, my mum was a chef, and some of my fondest memories are of us cooking together, creating delicious meals that brought our family closer. My dad's allotment was a source of fresh vegetables that we often used in our recipes, teaching me the value of homegrown ingredients from a young age. This blend of culinary passion and home gardening nurtured my love for cooking, eventually guiding me toward a career in the culinary world.
However, it was in teaching that I discovered a calling. There is something incredibly fulfilling about sharing knowledge and children's excitement as they learn new skills. I am taking this opportunity to work with children to explore the world of cooking, their eyes bright with pride as they create their own delicious dishes.
Becoming a grandmother has further enriched my culinary journey, allowing me to pass on my love for cooking to my grandson, just as I did with my daughter. There is nothing quite like the happiness that fills the kitchen when it's alive with the laughter and creativity of family and friends enjoying a home-cooked meal together.
Joining Cook Stars has provided the perfect platform for me to extend this passion to my wider community. At Cook Stars Norwich East and Broadland, we offer classes, workshops, and parties designed to inspire and engage children in the joy of cooking. Whether we're whipping up a simple snack or tackling a more complex recipe, each session is crafted to be fun, educational, and memorable.
I look forward to welcoming you to our Cook Stars family, where we'll create delicious dishes and lasting memories together. Let's cook up some fun!
