Joe - Cook Stars Liverpool South
Description
Hi, I’m Joe and I own Cook Stars Liverpool South, covering Toxteth to Woolton and everywhere in between!
I’ve worked in Liverpool schools for 11 years, most recently as a PE teacher. I’ve loved cooking since being a teenager, an interest that has only grown as I’ve travelled around the world and tasted various cuisines – Asian, African and Central American dishes are among my favourites. I owe my earliest memories of cooking to my Gran, who always encouraged me to try making new things!
I love cooking for friends & family, especially putting together banquets around different events, like the 32 dish (one per country) World Cup buffet!
I have two young children (aged 4 and 1) and love cooking with my oldest. My youngest currently has milk and egg allergies, so I’m used to planning recipes around different allergens.
Outside the kitchen, I like watching sport (particularly football and cricket), exercising (I have an Ultra Marathon booked in for Spring 2026…!) and going on adventures with my wife and children. We love getting up to the Lakes or finding a good beach somewhere!
