My goodness, you are so sweet to pay so much attention to each of your students. Yes Murni has excitedly come home to share her recipes and experience with me. She has started to try out a couple of dishes that have turned out.

Thank you so much for the update.  It's a nice touch.  She really enjoyed it and said you were cool!

- By Suzzane Dow (Maid: Gilda)

 

Thank you Annette - Aurora has been making the meals at home and we are all very impressed. Is there another course she can do when this one finishes?

- By Robin Challis (Maid: Aurora)

 

As expected, Grace had a great time last Friday, and she had already made the banana bread with my daughter (10 years old, who loves to bake but don't know how, that's why Grace is attending the course) 2 days ago.  It was really yummy!!!! Well, am looking forward to more yummy cakes to try, many thanks for your update.  Grace was touched by your praise!!!!

- By Janet Dee (Maid: Grace)

 

Thank you for the personalized updates - I really appreciate them. Merlyn is loving the class. Merlyn started with us with a smile on her face and her smile has broadened with your course. She was also apprehensive when in the kitchen and with no exaggeration I can say your classes have given her great confidence.

- By Andrea Johannson-Koch (Maid: Merlyn)

 

Maria came home extremely enthusiastic about the class, which is great.  She went on to cook the roasted pistachio encrusted lamb and then the lasagna and then the risotto over the last few days.  Great stuff!! To be honest, sending her on this course has given her a bit more of enthusiasm and confidence in her cooking!  I am just looking forward to more variety in our daily meals!!!

- By Rini (Maid: Maria)

 

Thank you for your email and the photos! We really enjoyed the baked fish with dates and pine nuts. The other dishes Umi learnt look like they could be served in a restaurant! They look so good. I'm looking forward to the roasted honey balsamic vegetables next. I'm so very glad to have found your services on the Internet! There is a need in Singapore for what you're doing, and we are happy to be the ones benefitting from your expertise! Thanks and keep it up! :-)

The food was excellent.  I love the oat and date snack bars.  The bircher muesli is a favourite of mine (my standard breakfast when travelling) so I am glad we can now have it at home. 

- By Tony May (Maid: Sharon)

 

Reynita is having a lovely time attending your classes, she comes home excited about what she has been cooking and tells me all about it. She is truly enjoying the lessons. She has made several items; the quiche especially is very good. This week she hopes to make the melting moments (I remember baking these when I was a child) and the chocolate balls. Thank you!!

- By Jo McNaughton (Maid: Reynita)

 

Cherry absolutely loved the class on Friday and hasn't stopped talking about all the things that you made.  Thank you so much - you're obviously a great teacher and it seemed like they all had a good time, as well as learning how to bake. Cherry loves your class!  We came home from a weekend away to a freezer full of biscuits and lemon slices, and today she and my older daughter made a batch of cheese muffins for lunch. Cherry has expressed an interest in doing your cooking courses once the baking is finished, so could you let me know the next available dates for that? I wouldn’t hesitate for a second about signing her up to any of your classes. She would definitely like to do to the basic and intermediate cooking courses, so could you put her name down and just let me know the dates etc in due course. Many thanks.

Ok. The fish curry is the winner so far. Gerannie is getting straight A’s from us. We are huge curry fans and vow never to buy store-bought curry past again! The Moroccan chicken is my new favourite dish. Even my 5 yr old loved it. We are making good progress here : )

 

You are certainly a miracle worker. My five year old was so intrigued by the string beans recipe with almonds and dressing that she ate her first string bean ever! We all enjoyed the fried rice and mashed potatoes. My one and a half year old ate two bowls of the fried rice! We are looking forward to having her make some nice breakfast for us on the weekend. The chicken skewers are still winners with us and our 5 year old. My daughter begs for chicken skewers for her school lunch, and this is a kid who complains when any other form of chicken, even chicken rice! Her homemade tomato sauce was delicious and she found ways to had some hidden veggies for the kids.  I can see she is more cafeful about freezing items and storing them correctly. She also made some nice chicken stock and has used in in a number of dishes for the kids. She tried all the recipes for us within the first two days after the class!

You are a GODSEND!  Seriously.  It’s just been brilliant for me, for Linda, and for Linda’s confidence.  She is  taking initiative and pride in the kitchen. I’m all for whatever private lessons you are up for doing.  When would you like to begin the next block of private lessons?  Additionally, please hold a place for Linda in your next available Intermediate AND Advanced classes.  And if there are any other 1-day courses, please sign her up.  More practice and exposure the better.

 

BTW Linda made delicious pancakes for breakfast this morning.  I was very impressed!  What a change!  Kudos to you! THANK YOU!!!

- By Tamatha Blair (Maid: Linda)

 

Just a quick recap of how this has changed my life....Since I last wrote, Jolfha has been cooking both lunches and dinners, the Fish curry - simply the best dish EVER to be served in my home! Seared blackened salmon and salsa - memorably the second best, especially the sweet corn salsa. Gorgonzola, walnut and spinach salad, Fish marinated in ginger and spices, Salmon pasta in tomato and cream sauce.....ALL delicious things!!! Mon to mention the Banana and sesame puffs. She's very proud of her certificate - and her new apron. Thanks very much for helping us out in such a tasty way! Well balanced diets rule! 

- By Sherry Conisbee (Maid: Jolfha)

 

Hi Annette, thank you for the reports and thank you so much for the course! Marilyn's cooking skills have changed unrecognizably! on Friday we had guests for dinner and she prepared your minestrone soup, roast chicken and the apple cake for dessert. All was delicious and our guests didn't believe that only few weeks ago she didn't know anything aboutwestern cooking...

- By Shiraz Mano (Maid: Marilyn)

 

Many thanks for the update. Nenita clearly thrived in your class and has become much more confident. We’d love to put her in another session. Thanks Annette.

- By Anne Florini (Maid: Nenita)

 

Hello Ma'am, its me Elma – I wanted to say thank you for what I learnt today. I did the marinated chicken and I served to my employer and they are amazed, so tasty and delicious.

- By Elma (Maid) Employer: Louisa Follis

 

Hi, its me Thess. Thanks a lot for teaching me how to be a good cook. Today I cooked chicken mushroom and pea risotto. I get the thumbs up from my employers. They loved to eat it. I am going to try all the recipes you taught me.

- By Thess (Maid) Employer: Melissa Eaton

 

Hi Ma'am, my employer is really happy with my cooking. They love it! Thank you very much.

Your cooking courses for our helper Amy were truly worth the money spent. The knowledge she gained through the Beginner's and Intermediate Cooking Courses with you have helped us greatly in being served our meals at the right time, in the correct order, with the correct condiments and always tasting great. We no longer receive vegetables that taste like burnt pot or that come out soggy and our kitchen is set up in a more easy to use manner. Her meals she learned through you have been enjoyed in our household and thank you for providing Amy with such great reference notes so she can look back at her recipes she learned. You are a great teacher, Annette, and Amy really enjoyed your classes and the friends she met.

- By Jo Clary Maughan (Maid: Amy)

 

Malanie really enjoyed the course so much. She thought you were amazing and showed a real passion about teaching and cooking. I  want to send her on your advanced course. I think she will really enjoy it! Thank you so much....she really loved it and we LOVE the food!

- By Beth Ann Lim (Maid: Malanie)

 

 I thought the cooking that we did was VERY yummy (especially the chocolate hotpots!!) I cooked dinner at home and made the chicken marinate. It was good for me because now I can come home from school and make a yummy snack. I never would have thought that I would have liked some of the things we made but the cooking course made me open to new foods and enjoy cooking them too.

- By Yazmin Judd (Kids in the Kitchen Holiday program)

 

 Eva's confidence and cooking ability has really grown. She's really been cooking a lot more variety of dishes and healthy foods. The nutritional balance of the meal is so much better. Thank you so very much  Annette . Eva has really enjoyed the course and is very proud of her achievement. Eva has totally put into practice what she's learnt and we love the new food she's cooking. We all can't wait for the next course.   I personally feel a huge relief that Eva is very capable of feeding the family healthy, nutritional food. When work gets extra busy for me and I'm not focused on home management so much I won't worry about the food side of things now.   Thanks so much for providing such a fabulous service! We're an extra happy, well fed family now!

 

Eva's so empowered and excited and so willing to learn more about cooking now. Also please let me know if you have a space for Eva on intermediate courses or please put her down as reserve. Eva cooked the marinated chicken last night. It was wonderful!!!  

- By Melissa Meyers (Maid: Eva)

 

I was surprised - shocked really - by how good the food prepared by our helper was after her first course at Expat Kitchen. My wife was away at the time and Annalie was put in the position of preparing my evening meals. The Moroccan chicken was such a highlight for me that I phoned Annette while I was eating dinner to compliment her. I didn't realise that she was overseas at the time, and I can only imagine what she thought being woken up in the middle of the night to hear me rambling on about how delicious the chicken was!!!  

- By Eytan Uliel (Maid: Annalie)

 

My helper Hadi absolutely loved the cooking classes and she said that it was much better than the last cooking school she attended because you are more hands on and better organised. Your courses gave her the confidence she needed in the kitchen to try new and exciting dishes that she is culturally not usually exposed to. I think your school is a true asset! Well done Annette!!! Thanks.
