Crafting Artisanal Dough Products: A Comprehensive Guide to Traditional Bread, Pizza, and Pastries with Step-by-Step Techniques and Recipes

From 41 € /h

Discover the joy of hands-on cooking! In this workshop, you'll learn the techniques behind truly artisanal dough products: from mixing and kneading the dough to rolling it out, shaping, and baking fresh pizza.

We use simple, high-quality ingredients, and I'll explain how small variations in flour, moisture, or resting time affect the final result.

The lesson is designed for anyone who loves cooking and wants to learn something new—whether you're a complete beginner or already have kitchen experience. At the end, you'll take home not only delicious pizza, but also the knowledge to recreate it entirely on your own.

About Me

My name is Michiel. During my studies and years as a volunteer, I discovered how much joy and fulfilment sharing knowledge with others can bring. I believe that learning should not only be educational but also enjoyable and inspiring.

I enthusiastically provide tutoring in biology and mathematics for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding, strengthen their knowledge, or gain better insight into specific topics. Thanks to my PhD in neuroscience and international experience, I can explain complex subjects clearly, always tailored to your pace and learning style. My goal is not only to help you understand how something works but also to give you the confidence to apply it independently.

In addition to tutoring, I enjoy sharing my passion for plants and cooking by organising creative workshops on plant care and the making of artisanal doughs.

You can also contact me for practical guidance in Microsoft Office or advice on optimising photographic material. Together, we work step by step toward greater understanding, skills, and confidence.

Education

I hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences, during which I developed a strong foundation in human biology, physiology, and research methodology. In addition, I obtained a doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in Medicine and Health Sciences, during which I conducted interdisciplinary research at the intersection of neuroscience, molecular biology, and clinical science. This academic journey has provided me with in‐depth expertise in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication, as well as extensive experience working in both academic and clinical research environments.

Experience / Qualifications

I have extensive experience working in academic and clinical research laboratories, with a strong background in scientific and analytical methodologies. My work has given me a solid foundation in both practical and theoretical aspects of research, complemented by international experience through conference participation. I have trained fellow researchers in advanced laboratory techniques and guided young learners during educational holiday programs. I take pride in explaining complex topics in a clear and structured way, always adapting my approach to the student’s level, needs, and learning goals.

Personalised biology and maths tutoring – helping you build understanding and confidence at your own pace

35 € /h

Need help with maths or biology?
As a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences, I enjoy helping students of all ages to better understand the material and learn with greater confidence. We work at your own pace and in a way that suits your learning style.

How does a lesson work?
In the first session, we identify the main difficulties together. From there, we build up step by step. I encourage questions and provide practical tips and strategies to make studying more effective.

We work through exercises together, discuss examples, and then move on to more challenging problems to deepen understanding. This approach ensures you’re well prepared for your tests and exams.

A positive learning experience
Learning should be enjoyable. With a patient, motivating and clear approach, I create a relaxed environment where it’s okay to make mistakes, and no question is too much to ask — because that’s how real learning happens.

Interested?
Feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange your first lesson. I’ll be happy to help you move forward!

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.

•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.

Objective ?

The objective of these workshops is not artistic production nor the learning of techniques but the discovery of a link through creation with oneself and others. This life bond guarantees better well-being. These workshops offer a creative space for people wishing to connect with the forces of life. It's a job to find yourself, with your sensitivity, your emotions, your strengths and your weaknesses.

Who is this for?

Art Therapy is aimed at anyone looking for a process of self-transformation and evolution.

For all audiences; children, adolescents, adults, the elderly.

The workshops or sessions are aimed at the artist in each of us. The search for pleasure and aesthetic emotion is linked to artistic activity, with the guidance of the art therapist.

Art therapy in institutions: children, adolescents, adults experiencing difficulties or on the margins (hospitals, retirement homes, social reintegration environments, schools in priority education areas or with the razed network, Cliss class, etc.)

Outside institutions: workshops also open to those who want to discover themselves through an artistic expression that can be shared.

Duration of a session: between 1h15 and 1h45; varies from one individual to another, from one session to another.

Meet your body, your sensations, your emotions in a fun and gentle way.

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.

<a list of some popular Korean dishes>
- pork ribs marinated with soy sauce-based Korean sauce
- seasoned beef with lots of veggies (bulgogi)
- Stir-fried glass noodle with veggies and meat (Japchae)
- Korean sushi with lots of veggies and meat in it (Kimbap)
- Rice mixed with various veggies and Korean pepper paste (bibimbap)
- Spicy sticky rice cake with veggies (Ddeokbokki)
- Crispy fried chicken with sweet-sour sauce (Dakgangjeong)
- Stir-fried chicken breast with sweet potato (Dak gaseumsal bokkem)
- Korean traditional pumpkin porridge (Hobakjook)
- Mushroom pakchoi shabushabu (shabushabu)
- Korean black bean noodle with meal and veggies (Jja jang myeon)
- Kimchi
- Korean curry
- Seaweed beef soup (miyeok guk)
- Korean new year soup (ddeok guk)
- Korean miso soup (dwen jang kuk)

During the cooking class, you can not only learn how to make the dishes but also Korean table manners. (How to use chopsticks, how to do cheers etc.
It is going to be very interesting as I will also explain the origin of the dish and some behind stories of the dish.
My cooking class is also good for vegans as well because there are many good vegan Asian dishes that you would absolutely love.

The class will take place basically in my place but it is possible to have it in your place as well :)

I am a professional dancer who has completed the 200 Yoga Teacher Training at Samyak Yoga in Mysore, India. My training is focused on the physical & mental state within yoga as well as breathing techniques called Pranayama to assist the practice and improve overall well-being. All of my private and group classes focus on making the yoga practice accessible for all practitioners from absolute beginners to advanced students.

I believe Yoga is a shared experience that requires equal commitment from the teacher as well as the student. I make sure that students have a solid understanding of the postures, their benefits as well as the transitions between then to create a strong practice on and off the mat. I am always prepared to challenge the student as well as adapt to their needs.

Welcome to my Yoga class, where breath, movement, and mindfulness unite to nurture your body, mind and spirit.

I'm Thu, a yoga practicer of more than 20 years.
I believe that yoga is not just something we do on the mat; it's a way of living with awareness, compassion, and authenticity. My mission as your teacher is to empower you to cultivate a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you, both on and off the mat.

Yoga is more than just a physical exercise; it's a holistic path to wellness and inner peace. Through a combination of asanas (poses), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation, we'll explore the profound connection between body, breath, and consciousness.

In our classes, you can expect a supportive and inclusive environment where students of all levels are encouraged to explore and honor their unique bodies and abilities. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a beginner, my aim is to meet you exactly where you are on your yoga journey and support you in reaching your goals.

Each class is thoughtfully crafted to provide a balance of strength, flexibility, and relaxation, leaving you feeling grounded, centered, and rejuvenated. Together, we'll explore the transformative power of yoga, cultivating physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional resilience along the way.

So, whether you're here to find peace amidst life's chaos, to strengthen and tone your body, or simply to explore the beauty of yoga, I'm honored to be your guide on this journey. Let's come together, breathe deeply, and awaken the inner light that resides within each of us. Welcome to the practice of yoga!

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.
