What People Are Saying:

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for the TY cooking course that finished this week. My son took part and it was great. He has really enjoyed the course, although would probably be slow to admit it :) I have to say it's given him great confidence in the kitchen. He rarely made anything before the course and is a lot more receptive to trying things now that he's done it. Thanks a million. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Thank you again, I will definitely recommend the course to parents of other TYs.

Caitríona, TY Parent Dec 2024

He (My Son) loved it! We all did !!!

Eileen, TY Parent Dec 2024

My son said to say he was very hesitant at the start but he now really likes the recipes and was particularly delighted with the banana bread - really quick and tasty.

TY Parent, November 2024

Hi Vanessa, Thank you for the weekly zoom meetings and the fantastic recipes, I’m loving the course so far!

Kate, TY Student Nov 2024

Thanks so much Vanessa. This [course] has been amazing. My son is a good enough cook/baker, but this has opened up some more everyday dishes to him & I love that you use the time to pop in a dessert while he’s waiting for things to cook. Oh I’m loving Mondays too, great to know myself and hubbie have the day off cooking and all in under control. Thanks so much.

Laura, TY Parent Oct 2024

Thank you so much. Tonight (Zoom Cookalong) was brilliant, a real confidence boost for [My Son].

Margaret, TY Parent Jan 2024

Great course, [My Son] learned lots!

Carmel, TY Parent Dec 2023

I wanted to express my appreciation for your fantastic online cookery course that my twins recently completed with yourself. The engaging curriculum, interactive sessions, and practical approach have sparked a genuine interest in cooking for them. Your course has not only equipped them with valuable culinary skills but has also made the learning experience enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for providing such a well-rounded and enriching educational opportunity. - Sharon, TY parent Dec '23

Hi Vanessa, I’d just like to say that [Son] is really enjoying the cook alongs. He hasn’t cooked much before and is enjoying the course and cooking great food. I’m delighted as there was a good deal of cajoling and scepticism beforehand!! He couldn’t make this Monday so did meal no.2 for us this evening. It was really very good. And such a treat for me! I think it’s a great idea and we are delighted with it.

TY Parent October 2023

[My son] has had a thoroughly enjoyable cooking experience over the past 11 weeks. When he heard that next week was the last week, he was quite disappointed. He really has embraced it all. (Apart from the washing up part !!!) he really has looked forward to it every week with great enthusiasm. And has loved every thing he has made. He loves food anyway but he’s been really proud of himself and what he has produced each week. I was actually pleasantly surprised at his reaction that it was coming to an end. Anyway, Thanks for everything, the great recipes, the clear guidance through each session and the interlude music 😊 A real winner.

TY Parent Dec 2023

Thanks Vanessa. He really enjoyed the course. The replay Zoom was brilliant as he couldn't make it to the live events with his training.
