What Makes Me a SecretGuru?

After training in cuisine and patisserie at Le Cordon Bleu, I started my own cookery school in 2010, and have since taught hundreds of people the confidence to create delicious dishes in the kitchen.

I was voted runner up 'Best Cookery School Tutor' in the UK Cookery School of the Year Award 2012, and was a finalist 'Best Young Rising Star in the Cookery School Awards 2012. With my relaxed approach, fun teaching style and hearty flavours, my cookery classes have become the cookery school of choice for both private and corporate clients, and for brushing up on your cooking skills whilst smiling at the same time.

    Making Fresh Pasta

What my clients say:

  • I have been lucky enough to attend a class run by the outstanding Rachel from Rachel's Kitchen. The evening was enjoyable informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Rachel's expertise does not stop her being a helpful teacher and she put the whole class at ease very quickly. We all had a brilliant time learning new technical skills in a way that we will be able to replicate by ourselves. Whether you are thinking about a corporate event or a fun time I cannot imagine anyone better than Rachel. She is professional charming and expert - and I have no hesitation in recommending her.”

    Sarah Bowles
  • I recently attended Rachel’s pasta making class. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, Rachel is an excellent teacher, full of patience and enthusiasm in equal measure. As a complete pasta-making novice, going into the class I wasn’t confident about my ability, Rachel demonstrated and explained each step and our pasta was absolutely delicious!

    Pippa Bloom
  • I took my parents to Rachel’s Pasta cooking class as a birthday present. Mum hasn’t stopped talking about it and all her friends now have this on their list to do. Rachel organised such a great evening, the food and company was fantastic and I have since purchased a pasta machine to make my own at home. For a unique evening of enjoyment with friends (and dinner), try out one of Rachel’s cookery classes. Sushi is next on my list!
