Meet Dan

Dan is a passionate British home cook with over 35 years of experience, offering hands-on cooking classes in his London home. He has taught mums, dads, and teens essential kitchen skills through the Duke of Edinburgh programme, catered events from birthdays to festive celebrations, and even cooked for 2,500 people a day during Covid for a local charity. Dan has also hosted supper clubs and food demonstrations in his community, always sharing his love of cooking. Well-travelled and endlessly curious, he is now dedicated to celebrating the rich history, heritage, and flavors of British cuisine with guests who want to learn, cook, and enjoy authentic home-cooked food in London.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (2-8 guests) Join Dan for a British cooking class in his Edwardian home in Muswell Hill, just 30 minutes from central London. You'll learn to cook simple British classics before sitting down to enjoy a delicious home-cooked dinner. Choose from three menus: a London tasting menu, the best of British classics, or dishes enjoyed by the British royal family. In your 1–1.5 hour hands-on London cooking class, you’ll prepare three dishes from scratch (please note, pastry dough is pre-bought). For example, the London tasting menu includes favorites such as scotch eggs, beer-battered fish and chips, and mini beef wellingtons. Start with an aperitif and nibbles, then share the meal you’ve helped create.

This authentic London food experience in a local home is filled with stories, history, and insider knowledge, leaving you with a deeper connection to British cuisine and memories to cherish forever.

Notes:
1. At the time of booking, please let Dan know your menu preference from the three options.
2. One drink is included in the cost of the experience. If you would like more, please choose the optional alcohol at an additional cost.
3. Dan has a small dog named Nala but she usually does her own thing.
4. All menus can be adapted to suit gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan diets. Please let Dan know if you have any dietary restrictions when booking the experience online.
