Recent reviews of Sweet Baking Class with a Great British Bake Off Finalist
- 5/5 from Jennifer Webber, attended Jan 2025: This was bought as a Christmas gift for my mum and we both attended to do something different together. We really liked the space at the village hall and appreciated having everything organised for us - especially having someone to do the washing up! We both enjoyed having straight forward recipes that could easily be adapted for different variations. The pace was good and we also enjoyed a sit down with a cup of tea to talk with other bakers. We’re both hoping to book in further classes!
- 5/5 from John Thomson, attended Jan 2025: This was a great class! Jinny and Dan were great, really helpful and friendly. The set up was great, I can't believe how much we got through in 3 hours! I've already signed up for another class based on the experience, would highly recommend!
- 5/5 from David Foster, attended Jan 2025: Great day making some delicious sweet treats. Both Dan and Jinny were great. A fantastic experience I'd definitely recommend and already looking at different cooking classes. Thanks
- 5/5 from Helen Owen, attended Jan 2025: I got this Baking Class as a gift for my sister. She had a really great time and the bakes she made were amazing! Wish I’d gone too.
- 5/5 from Helen Porter, attended Nov 2024: Fantastic course with Dan and Jinny. The recipes were well taught with everything really well explained and extra tips to ensure perfect bakes. There were plenty of opportunities to ask additional questions and of course to grill Dan about bake-off.
- 5/5 from Suzanne James, attended Nov 2024: A wonderful class! Well taught and with delicious treats at the end. Highly recommended.
- 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: This was such good fun! We were a baker and a non baker but everything was possible All the baking were lovely too!
- 5/5 from Rebecca Stock, attended Jun 2024: Course was brilliant, both teachers very helpful and informative. Venue was set up very well, all materials provided. Made three different bakes (financiers, sable biscuits, baci di dama), none of which I’d baked before. Excellent value for money.

I love to cook with others and I love to share my knowledge. For over ten years I sailed around the world working as a high end personal chef on luxury sailing yachts. I have a passion for food and have had the pleasure of travelling to many different countries seeing the assortment of flavours and variations of dishes. This has enabled me to pick up flavour combinations and skills from people around the world. As a luxury yacht chef, you need to be able to cook a wide variety of food. Pretty much whatever the guests ask for, you need to magically make appear from the galley! I loved this challenge and it enabled me to discover and master a wide variety of cuisines. Wherever we dropped anchor I would hunt for fresh ideas -- the foods at the market, the fellow yacht cheffies, the local chefs and homes. Part of my on-going training has included an intensive course at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners (ICIF) in the Piemonte region of Italy and sushi classes at the Japanese Institute in LA. I have since settled on land and am now enjoying bringing people together through my fun, interactive cooking classes.
