Learn how to cook, from basic to creative cooking.

Van 29 € /h

Creative cooking is not just putting random ingredients together with an aesthetic touch. Rather it is about creating new dishes that tell a small story, tickle, and excite all our senses and especially our imagination!

Aesthetic is important because we eat with our eyes (first), so the glance is fundamental to amaze and create expectation and suspense, but those promises and expectations must and confirmed in the smell and ultimately in the taste.

A dish is a game of consistencies, colors, and flavors that mix and harmonize with each other!
I am a very experienced personal chef and I love to share my knowledge and passion. I bring you from beginner to advanced level always with interesting and tasty recipes.

Over

I’m Margherita, a true food enthusiast.
I’ve always been fascinated by everything related to food — from unusual ingredients and traditional recipes to exciting new flavour combinations. My first teachers were the women in my family, who showed me how to understand ingredients and approach them with both curiosity and respect.
Building on that foundation, I expanded my culinary experience by learning from talented chefs who helped me see cuisine from a deeper perspective and channel my creativity into new recipes.
I would love to share this knowledge and passion with you, guiding you step by step on your own culinary journey.

De kookles die ik wil geven aan kinderen tot en met 17 jaar oud is gericht op het ontwikkelen van culinaire vaardigheden en het aanmoedigen van gezonde eetgewoonten. De kookles kan worden georganiseerd in een professionele keuken, in een kookschool of bijvoorbeeld in een buurthuis.

Tijdens de les worden de kinderen begeleid in het bereiden van gezonde en lekkere gerechten, waarbij aandacht wordt besteed aan de juiste voedingswaarde en presentatie van de gerechten. De les kan worden opgesplitst in verschillende onderdelen, waarbij bijvoorbeeld eerst aandacht wordt besteed aan het bereiden van voorgerechten, gevolgd door het bereiden van een hoofdgerecht en tenslotte het dessert.

Om ervoor te zorgen dat de kinderen zich op hun gemak voelen en dat de kookles interactief en leuk blijft, kun je ervoor kiezen om het thema van de les aan te passen aan hun leeftijd en interesses. Bijvoorbeeld, als het een groep jonge kinderen betreft, kun je ervoor kiezen om het thema van de kookles te baseren op het maken van gezonde snacks of kindvriendelijke gerechten. Voor tieners kun je het thema van de les richten op meer uitdagende recepten en het ontwikkelen van culinaire vaardigheden.

Tijdens de les kun je ook de kinderen informeren over de oorsprong en voedingswaarde van de ingrediënten die ze gebruiken, en hen aanmoedigen om nieuwe smaken te proberen en te experimenteren met kruiden en specerijen. Daarnaast kun je de kinderen ook leren hoe ze een maaltijd kunnen presenteren en serveren, waardoor ze niet alleen culinaire vaardigheden ontwikkelen, maar ook belangrijke sociale vaardigheden leren.

De kookles kan worden afgesloten met een gezamenlijke maaltijd waarbij de kinderen kunnen genieten van de gerechten die ze hebben bereid. Dit is niet alleen een leuke manier om de les af te sluiten, maar ook een manier om de kinderen te laten zien dat gezond en lekker eten hand in hand gaan.
