  • 5/5 from Tracii Marchington, attended Dec 2024: A festive ‘Cooking with Jinny’ workshop focused on creating edible gifts, is a delightful experience from start to finish. The occasion perfectly captured the spirit of the season, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Jinny is knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about cooking. Her clear instructions and helpful tips made the recipes feel achievable, while her friendly personality created a sense of camaraderie among the participants. The venue itself was well-equipped with everything we needed. The ingredients provided were top-notch, which added to the overall quality of the creations we made. What truly stood out to me, however, was the magical festive ambiance. The room was filled with the irresistible scents of Christmas—orange, spices, and sweet aromas. Combined with the final joy of decorating our edible gifts, it was an experience that truly captured the essence of the season. I left the class with a variety of beautiful and delicious gifts to share and a warm festive feeling. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to embrace the festive spirit while learning something new.

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.
