Vegetarian Cookery

                                       Vegetarian cookery tuition
Interesting and different meals from around the world
                         good for you, your wallet and the environment

Many traditional cookery schools still do not offer courses in vegetarian cookery. So how about learning how to prepare simple, but interesting and varied vegetarian dishes at your own home, either 1-1 or with friends? I also offer vegetarian private dining at your home. Please check my personal chef and cookery coaching pages for full details of my services. Based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, I can also cater for you at your holiday location in Norfolk, Cambridge or Huntingdonshire (or anywhere else - subject to travel expenses). My prices are cheaper than you might have thought!

I am happy to put together menus to your requirements, or there is also an interesting and varied fixed price vegetarian option. I will make sure your menu is balanced in terms of nutrition, taste, texture and variety. Where possible I will use seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Below is a list of suggestions to help you get started.

GIFT VOUCHERS are also available for cookery lessons or meals.
