1 hour Class size 1 to 15     label £35 - £120 (£35 per Duke of Edinburgh assessment, £120 per )

Who is this Zoom basic cooking course aimed at?

  • Families, children aged 11+ to adults.
  • Teenagers participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme (Bronze, Silver, or Gold).
  • Young adults leaving home.
  • Younger children can join in with help from an adult.

Hob, oven, and knife work will be undertaken, so a grown-up in the room is always required for safety and safeguarding.

Course objectives

It aims to provide fun, practical cooking skills, enabling participants to create a wide range of easy-to-prepare dishes for themselves, friends, and family.

This course is 12 weeks long – around an hour between 5-6pm on Tuesdays live on Zoom.

How does this work?

The Zoom link and full recipes will be sent out beforehand so you can gather your ingredients for each class.

Weighing and chopping will be done during the class, as this is part of the learning. (You may chop and weigh ingredients beforehand if you prefer to watch more and take notes).

Cameras can be switched on or off, so interaction is entirely up to the individual.

Cameras switched on are preferable to encourage attendees to ask questions, communicate with others, and enjoy the cook-along! It also helps Anne Marie stop and wait for people before taking the next step.

*The Zoom is not recorded*

  • Easy ways to repurpose ingredients and leftovers to create new dishes.
  • How to reduce food waste through correct storage of ingredients.

Hi I’m Anne Marie and I love to cook and can't wait to share my knowledge with you. I have been teaching all ages since 2009 and very experienced in what I do and won several awards in recognition of this.

I am very patient and used to working with people who are beginners or not very confident in the kitchen.

I provide cooking programmes in the community alongside corporate health and well being workshops to encourage and enable people to cook from scratch.

I love to bake and teach traditional foods as well popular food from around the world. I especially enjoy dishes that enable me to use my seasonal fruit and vegetables from my allotment.

I also provide a variety of accessible cooking lessons to inspire you to cook no matter what your dietary requirements.

All my cooking experiences have an emphasis on fun, health, sustainability and affordability. They are also simple enough for beginners but interesting enough for those looking for some inspiration in the kitchen.


They are available for individuals of all ages in your own home live via Zoom. I also provide bespoke private lessons and small group workshops from my home in Warwick, UK.

I like to show people that cooking does not have to be complicated to taste good, it’s all about confidence about knowing what tastes good together and mastering some basic cooking skills.

My aim is to be creative with basic ingredients already in your cupboard, which will inspire you to recreate them again and again. No need for fancy ingredient kits! Also better for the environment too.

I believe that anyone can cook with a little help and my aim is to make cooking a pleasure and not a chore. I am a great believer in sustainable cooking and finding imaginative ways to use your leftovers.

If you do not see anything that takes your fancy in the events please get in touch. I have many lesson plans and able to provide bespoke private cooking lessons and parties to suit your needs for family, friends or work colleagues.
