A proper kitchen. A friendly chef. A very serious apron.
Little Chefs Club is a hands-on cooking school for children aged five to fourteen. We teach proper kitchen skills and recipes from scratch in a safe, friendly, energetic kitchen. No screens, no fuss, no nut allergens. Just appetites, aprons and a lot of laughing.
We are a nut-free kitchen. We can accommodate nut allergies only.
A mum, two picky eaters and a kitchen that changed everything.
As a parent, I always struggled to feed my children. Both of them had food allergies — and mealtimes were a battlefield of labels, substitutions and tiny tantrums. I was exhausted.
But I was also a mum who loved cooking, and I could not bear the thought of my children growing up afraid of food. So I pulled them into the kitchen with me. I handed them a spoon. I let them make a mess.
Watching them go from suspicious to curious to genuinely proud of what they had cooked was one of the most moving things I have ever seen. That was the moment Little Chefs Club was born.
I wanted to pass on my passion for cooking to children who might otherwise grow up thinking the kitchen was not for them.

Loved by tiny chefs and the grown-ups who clean up after them.
She came home, set the table without being asked, and made us a soft-boiled egg. We are not the same family.
He stopped asking for chicken nuggets. He now asks for risotto. Risotto. From a seven year old.
Best birthday party we have ever thrown. The kids made pizzas, ate them, took home a cake. We did nothing.
