Recent reviews of Three Week Essentials Beginners Cooking Course
- 5/5 from Tal Kedar, attended Jul 2026: Amazing teacher, so easy to learn and so much fun!
- 5/5 from Sophie Grainge, attended Jun 2026: I absolutely loved the essentials cooking course with Mimi! I’ve gained so much confidence in the kitchen from learning the basics to discovering new cuisines. I now look forward to hosting family and friends for meals. Highly highly recommend!
- 4/5 from Mia Mats, attended Jun 2026: Great Class, I learnt new techniques and great recipes - thank you for the experience
- 5/5 from Charlie Thermos, attended Apr 2026: Our teacher Mimi was very warm, friendly and engaging. Her assistant was a wonderful backup. Mimi made us feel at home immediately. She is knowledgeable, very experienced and easy to follow. She gave us lots of helpful preparation and cooking tips. It was really enjoyable learning all the techniques and recipes that are covered in three weeks. I certainly feel more confident in the kitchen. She also responded to questions during the week. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course. In fact I would highly recommend it to beginning or experienced cooks.
