5.0 (6)Owner and Pastry Chef - Janet Newton
The passion for baking and cooking started in childhood for Janet Newton. The long Christmas holidays she spent baking with Czechoslovakian family friend, Irene. During this time the family was provided with an endless supply of traditional tarts, slices, biscuits and cakes.
The wonderful love of sharing food with family and friends was born out of these one on one cooking lessons and is the inspiration behind the opening of The Yellow Door Kitchen.
Janet trained as Pastry Chef at the famous Le Cordon Bleu cooking school and has many years’ experience working in restaurants and patisseries. Her ability to combine flavours and her passion for baking is infectious and will ensure students are transported into a wonderful, creative world of cooking during her classes.

Had an amazing time at this class making delicious (and beautiful) Easter chocolates! I've done several classes with Janet and as always she was a great teacher.

Had a great time in this class learning how to make delicious pastries! Janet's a wonderful teacher, and I feel as though I've picked up a skill that will come in handy for making some very impressive party desserts!

I had a great time at this wonderful class! I learnt how to make delicious panna cotta and fresh pasta, which was served at the end of the evening in two different types of sauces (learning how to make the sauces and meatballs was a delicious bonus!)
The class was well taught with a clear demonstration and explanation of technique. Everyone got to make two types of pasta themselves, while the sauces were a group effort with everyone being called on to take part in measuring, adding ingredients and stirring.
I learnt a lot in this class and will definitely be making my own pasta in the future. I cannot recommend this class highly enough!

I had an great time in Janet's class! She was very friendly, communicated well and was great at explaining the process of making a variety of sweet and savory jams as well as some pickling.
This class was more of a demonstration of technique style class, where we jarred what Janet prepared. If you're looking for a very hands on cooking experience this might not be for you.
The jam made was delicious and went down a treat with the end of lesson croissant and champagne!
I would strongly recommend this class to others!
