Cooking not only gives sustenance to our body, but like hearing good music, it can nourish our soul.
Cooking is as natural as eating… with some guidance and information, classes will inspire your intuition, your imagination and your appetite to lead the way, in your kitchen. In this approach, recipes are starting points for you to personalize - adapting, researching and experimenting with ideas and ingredients, so that your cooking tastes just right, for you. Classes are built around the importance of enhancing relationships, with ourselves, each other and of course food. We need to eat and are social creatures, so coming together in a supportive, friendly group to enjoy cooking good food, makes good sense in every way.
All courses are run in a variety of community kitchens in the Brighton area. Our on the move, pop up kitchen, can be set up almost anywhere! For 1:1 and couples wanting to learn to cook, sessions are held in my garden studio or in some cases, in your own home. See below for the adaptable, pick and mix range of cooking courses offered:
A wide variety of institutions such as schools, universities, youth clubs, charities and NHS request cookery courses/workshops, targeting specific areas around enjoying healthy eating. Courses are designed, delivered and costed as per the needs of each client group.
In locations in and around Brighton, I offer cooking courses and workshops for groups of between 6-8 students. These courses are focused on the enjoyment of cooking good food in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. (Please contact me to find out more about the next course.)
Bespoke cooking sessions either as 1:1 or small groups, adapted to your specific requests. This are a great gift and wonderful way to spend time with loved ones. (Sessions cost: between £30-60 + ingredients, depending on the nature of the session/group.)
"Charlotte exudes a passion for cooking and her infectious energy makes her a tour de force in the kitchen. She has inspired my kids to cook and love food… entertaining us all at her many culinary happenings."
"Charlotte has such a gentle casual way that she makes taking charge of your health a very pleasant experience. Charlotte was one of my first cooking teachers and the first one to make me feel confident and unafraid of all the new foods and theories that just right for me as a beginner. She inspired all the students with her cooking, compassion and understanding; she is not only teaching in her class, she is also hands on cooking including all students’ participation. Charlotte’s Learn to Love Cooking Course helped me finally understand food and how to cook with love. Her teaching technique is so clear, easy and practical to understand, some of my favourite dishes are Fish Pie/ Risotto-Chicken/Mushroom and Leek/ Chocolate and Banana Cake and Chocolate Brownies."
"Charlotte has a wonderful style which brings people together Learning was all based around "doing it ourselves" and lots of discussion! , every ingredient has a personality which brings something different to the party!!"
"You gave me back my confidence to cook for others without worrying about having to stick rigidly to a recipe. I loved your view that preparing food and cooking for others is a primal way to show and give love to others. "
