Cooking classes for ALL levels (beginner to advanced) - Brussels - Private lessons

Translated by GoogleSee original

Cooking classes for ALL levels (beginner to advanced)

From 26 € /h

Active as a cook in the Belgian Navy, I would like to pass on my knowledge to anyone, whether it is to acquire basic techniques, improve, find your cooking style and then let loose on the presentation and the combinations of flavors.

I adapt to everyone (I have worked with very diverse profiles) and to each kitchen, even the least/most equipped, as long as we are creative and optimistic, we can always offer good things.

Extra information

I am only available in Brussels at the end of the week, from Friday evening to Sunday late afternoon (work in Flanders), we can arrange the dates in a private message ;-)

I can bring my own equipment (except cookware, of course) or use yours, it doesn't matter, I'll sharpen your knives if it's really necessary, but for the rest, any working condition is conducive to good taste.

For the ingredients, we will discuss a recipe or we can even learn to improvise something with what you have left, taking into account your goals and personal tastes.

As a student at the university, I have already given language lessons to children.
I teach grammar, conjugation ... I try to make children to the maximum through small educational games.

My French course is also for high school students (first and second degree). I teach grammar and literature.

The cooking class is mainly for young children who want to learn some easy recipes while having fun

I grew up in the kitchens of a restaurant, so much to tell you that recipes I know .. I learned with my dad who is a cook from his own restaurant.

The goal is to teach you a maximum of recipes.
60 min = An appetizer + a dish or a dish + a dessert
It will feast your entourage, it is promised.

Learn in a cheerful climate the beautiful Italian language together with its charming culture and delicious cuisine!
Group or individual course oriented to know the basics of the language to be able to converse, as well as the nuances of a very poetic language. Decipher the secrets of preparing a real pasta or a real pizza as much as hundreds of recipes, while discussing and laughing at an exuberant and controversial culture!

You probably want to impress your friends with delicious English cupcakes!
I give you their secret during a lesson that will allow you to reproduce them to infinity (and beyond ...)

•This class is for aspiring home cooks. The focus is to learn how to cook five very simple and healthy recipes for yourself and your family. You'll learn a variety of cooking techniques to cut down on costs and time in a relaxed and fun cooking environment. If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry, my eight-year-old brother is able to make most of these recipes.

I'm giving private lessons of french language for the beginners. I will teach you all the basics you need to further improve your french language skills.I can explain you in English or I can speak French with you from the very start, as you will prefer. I will make you speak French, so it will be a general class, all the grammar plus conversation.

I'm also giving private lessons of English language, also grammar, and a lot of conversation practice.

I'm giving lessons of Slovenian language, grammar plus conversation.

I can organize a cooking class to teach you how to cook delicious, healthy and simple meals. I cook Balkan food, Greek, Italian, Asian, Indian food.

If you think of yourself as a foodie, you should take the cooking class with me!
You can spend a delicious time and an appetizing experience while enjoying the meal that you just learned how to prepare.
They are so good so you will definitely want to make them again.

I offer different options for your cooking class depending both on your taste and your budget. The classes are approximately 2 or 3 hours long, including the preparation of the meal and the eating (dinner or lunch).

We will decide the dish and the ingredients together each time.

Since the age of 15, I have been deeply immersed in the world of cooking. With my profound love for food, I've honed this passion into the art of becoming a skilled chef.

Passionate, rigorous, and pedagogical, I have been practicing the profession for over 15 years and am able to pass on to you the valuable methods and techniques acquired during my professional career, which will be essential to perfecting your favorite desserts.

The course is open to children from 6 years old and adults of all ages. Individual or group lessons are available. Whether you are a curious beginner or a passionate amateur.

The course takes place over a day of at least 6 hours, it starts around 10am and ends around 4pm.

Pastry making will hold no more secrets for you, and you will leave with your finest creations of the day.

If you are interested, please remember to let me know the topic you would like to discuss, specifying the corresponding course number:
1* for the chocolate
2* for the choux pastry
3 stars for the brioche
Please also remember to bring your apron, a notebook, and your sandwich or other lunch for the midday break.
