FAQs | Rachel's Kitchen

Simply put, whatever you like! Rachel is experienced in a wide range of cuisines, so whether you want to learn how to cook a signature dish, get to grips with specific skills, or work with some key ingredients, she will be delighted to help!

The lesson includes all ingredients, recipes and tuition from a professional chef.

Lessons can be held in your home, in Rachel’s Kitchen in NW6 for up to 3 people, or in a hired venue for an additional fee. For larger groups, hired kitchens are often advisable, and Rachel can suggest some great options depending on numbers and location.

One of the benefits of having a lesson in your own kitchen is that you use your own equipment and will easily be able to make the dishes again. When you book a class, we will discuss what equipment you have in your kitchen so that we can bring anything extra that we might need. For group classes Rachel will provide all equipment.

It’s best to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little messy, as well as flat, comfortable shoes. Rachel will provide aprons, so you don’t need to bring your own.

Lesson times vary depending on what we're making and the group size and age. Most classes last approximately 3 hours. You can then enjoy the food you've made, and could even invite friends to join you!

Once you have confirmed the date for the lesson, we will ask you to pay a deposit. If you need to re-schedule or cancel, we will always do our best to help.  If you cancel more than 7 days in advance of the date booked, we will give you a full refund, or the option to book another date. If you need to cancel in the week before the class, the deposit will be non-refundable, as we will have already bought ingredients and other equipment for your class.
