Welcome To Wild In The Pantry

a unique, affordable and lasting experience
learn to cook, love your kitchen
or just
put your feet up and let me do all the work

You want to learn how to cook, because you know its cheaper, healthier and more satisfying than buying processed foods. And you will be able to entertain and impress your friends, family and colleagues. But perhaps you're not quite as confident as you could be about producing a whole meal yourself.

Or maybe you want to entertain at home, but simply don't have the time to do it all yourself.

This is where I come in. Wild In The Pantry is a 'Cook With The Chef' and Personal Chef business run by myself, qualified chef Frank Boddy, offering services in and around St Ives, Cambridgeshire. I can make any of the above happen for you, and more. I offer a range of options to help you, all at your home, from one-to-one personal cookery tuition with yourself and maybe some friends, to your own personal in-house chef, to my "secret chef" service, where I help prepare a meal with you then magically disappear before your guests arrive. Although I'm focussed around St Ives, Huntingdon, Peterborough and Cambridge, I'm happy to travel to your home or holiday home if you wish, wherever that is, including my existing customers around Sheffield and the Peak District.

GIFT VOUCHERS I also offer gift vouchers for any amount for my 'Cook With The Chef' and Personal Chef services. It could be the answer to your dilemma of what to give the person who has everything!

Why did I call my business Wild In The Pantry? Because I believe that cooking should be fun, creative, dynamic, experimental and absorbing. Making mistakes is part of learning. Putting together ingredients in a way that nobody has ever done before is the most exciting thing you can do with your clothes on.

Click the links on the left to get an idea of the services I offer, and see a suggested range of tutorials and menus for you to choose from.. or just use them to get your imagination going - they are just a guide - I am very happy to put together cookery sessions and menus based on your own personal preferences and requirements. The most important thing I have discovered so far is that every client is unique, and I will always try to make sure that's the way it stays.

All the photos of food on this website are taken by myself, of food I have cooked. Portraits and 'action shots' were taken by Abe at Riverside Photography.

Oh yes, and before you ask, the name Wild In The Pantry is a play on the Bow Wow Wow song 'Go Wild In The Country' from 1981.
