From an early age, I have always enjoyed cooking, from taking cookery classes at school to baking at home. I loved seeing the reactions from family and friends as they tucked into something I had made for them.
Over the years, that passion has continued to grow, and I have been lucky enough to pass it on to our three daughters, who are now aged 10, 12 and 15.
When the girls were younger, I spent lots of time cooking with them at home, introducing them to new foods, flavours and ingredients. It was also a wonderful opportunity to teach them colours, numbers and other early learning skills. Today, all three girls enjoy a wide variety of foods and love getting involved in meal preparation and cooking. They regularly attend my Cook Stars classes and workshops, helping to test recipes and sharing their enthusiasm for cooking with others.
My eldest daughter, now 15, has become a valued helper at classes and workshops, assisting with setting up, clearing away and supporting me behind the scenes. It has been incredibly rewarding to watch her confidence grow and see her develop a genuine passion for working with children and food.
Since starting Cook Stars, I have had the pleasure of working with many local schools and communities, helping children discover the fun and creativity of cooking. I also deliver regular after-school cooking clubs in local schools, giving children the opportunity to build confidence in the kitchen, learn valuable life skills and explore new foods in a fun and supportive environment.
I am passionate about helping children develop a positive relationship with food and cooking from a young age. Whether they are cracking an egg for the first time or mastering more advanced techniques, there is nothing better than seeing their confidence grow week after week.
I am so excited that you are interested in Cook Stars and hope to welcome you and your children to one of my classes soon. Whether they are complete beginners or already enjoy helping in the kitchen, they will develop valuable cooking skills, build confidence, try new foods and make new friends along the way.
I look forward to welcoming you to one of our classes, parties or workshops soon!
