Let's Start a Conversation

Whether you're ready to book a service or still exploring what makes sense for your situation, reaching out is the first step. I personally respond to every inquiry, usually within 24 hours.

Common questions I can help with:

• Which service best fits your current skill level and goals
• How to adapt services for dietary restrictions or preferences
• Scheduling and availability for workshops or private chef experiences
• Custom requests or combinations of services
• Gift certificates for cooking experiences

No question is too basic or too specific. If I can help, I will. If I can't, I'll say so honestly and point you toward someone who can.

What Happens Next

Once you reach out, here's the typical process:

For service inquiries: I'll respond with availability and any clarifying questions about your needs. If you're unsure which service makes sense, I'll offer my recommendation based on what you've shared.

For workshop bookings: I'll confirm available dates and send payment information. Workshops require advance booking as they fill quickly, especially the popular Foundations sessions.

For private chef or catering: We'll schedule a brief call to discuss your preferences, dietary requirements, and event details. Then I'll propose a menu for your approval before finalizing the booking.

For meal preparation: We'll have an initial consultation about your preferences, dietary needs, and schedule. Then I'll prepare a sample week menu for your review before starting regular service.

For mentorship: We'll discuss your current skill level, specific goals, and what you hope to achieve. If it seems like a good fit, we'll schedule your first session and outline an initial approach.

Finding Our Workshop Space

Our Brunswick kitchen is centrally located with easy access via tram or car. Detailed directions are provided upon booking confirmation. Street parking is typically available, and we're a short walk from Sydney Road shops.

The space accommodates small groups comfortably, with professional equipment but a home-kitchen feel. This intentional design helps bridge the gap between learning in an institutional setting and applying skills in your own kitchen.

Gift Certificates Available

Cooking experiences make memorable gifts for food enthusiasts, busy professionals, or anyone who's expressed interest in improving their kitchen skills. Gift certificates are available for any service and remain valid for twelve months.

Email to arrange a gift certificate, and I'll provide a personalized certificate you can present to the recipient. They can then contact me directly to schedule at their convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Absolutely. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other requirements are easily handled across all services. Just mention your needs when booking.

What if I need to reschedule?
Workshops can be rescheduled with 48 hours notice. Private chef experiences and catering require one week notice for full refund. Meal preparation can pause or skip weeks as needed.

Do workshops require previous experience?
The Foundations Workshop assumes no prior knowledge. The Seasonal Series works best after completing Foundations or if you already have basic skills. Mentorship adapts to your current level.

How far in advance should I book?
Workshops often fill 3-4 weeks ahead. Private chef experiences and catering should be booked at least two weeks out, though I sometimes accommodate shorter notice if my schedule allows.

Can you work with my existing meal plan or diet?
Yes. Meal preparation service is fully customizable to your preferences, macros, or specific dietary protocols. We'll discuss your requirements during the initial consultation.
