\n\t\tFAQs\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

What level of cook is this for?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

This is for any level of cook – that may sound vague but my 10 years of teaching mixed ability classes means that I demonstrate and explain what I’m sharing in a way that allows everyone to get value from it. Often the people who have been cooking the longest are the ones who don’t realise they have not been doing things in the most efficient or instinctive way!<\/p>\n

In every recipe I demonstrate, I start from scratch. There will be no pre-peeled onions or ready chopped things. I’ll show you quickly and efficiently how to master every step of the process from shopping and organising to chopping, cooking, serving, storing and re-heating.<\/p>\n

If you are a really experienced cook, this will help you get out of a rut, expand your repertoire, freestyle with confidence and learn new ways to tackle things you’ve always done without questioning why. Rather than wading through your cookbooks, you’ll have inspiration delivered to you in a way you can\u00a0 really make progress. And we’ll have lots of fun along the way!<\/p>\n

If you are a less confident cook you’ll have the reassurance of my support and experience as your confidence grows, knowing that what you cook will work. You’ll get quicker and more efficient, learning how to freestyle as you work through the course with me.<\/p>\n

Whatever your level, investing this money and time in yourself to learn in a fun and supportive environment will change the way you cook.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Do I have to be online at a set time to learn?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

In a word – nope.<\/p>\n

I’ve taken a few courses that were all live tutorials and found it hard to fit in with the madness of a busy week. I fell behind and felt frustrated.<\/p>\n

So I’ve purposefully designed this course to be one that you can do at times and pace that suit you. Most of the elements are pre-recorded so I can ensure amazing production values and ensure every point that I know you will need is covered. You’ll have access to all the materials forever so you can refer back whenever you need.<\/p>\n

The only live sessions are the Q&A sessions which will be group Zoom calls. If you can’t join live, don’t worry. You can submit questions in advance via email and you will also be able to watch them back as they’ll be saved after in the members-only website and facebook group.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How does this fit with the meal plan and recipe service?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

Nothing will change with the meal plans, recipes and shopping lists<\/a> you receive if you’re already signed up to that service.<\/p>\n

Think of the meal plans helping you decide WHAT to cook. This course will help you master HOW to cook.<\/p>\n

This 8 week course is designed to either stand alone or sit alongside the meal plans and recipe service<\/a>. It will allow me to give you much more personal daily support, in depth cooking lessons via video and direct contact to help you take the steps you need to really enjoy cooking and bring new recipes to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
