Plan Something Delicious
Private cooking classes for friends, teams and special occasions. All tailored to you.
About Private & Group Classes
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, organising a team day out, or just want an excuse to gather your favourite people, a private cooking class is a beautiful way to connect.
I host relaxed, hands-on sessions at SC Grocer in Kill of the Grange, South Dublin. Or, if you prefer, I can join you virtually from my kitchen to yours. Each session is shaped around your group, from the menu and energy, to the pace we move at. It’s food, fun and connection all wrapped into one.
What to Expect
Private classes follow a similar flow to my regular sessions, just with a little more flexibility. We’ll ease in with a drink and a warm hello, then move into a recipe demo followed by plenty of hands-on cooking time. Afterwards, we sit down and enjoy the meal together.
You can be involved as much or as little as you like in shaping the menu. I’ll help create something seasonal, simple and satisfying. On the day, I’ll guide everyone through at a relaxed pace, with room for questions, chats and a few laughs along the way.
