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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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!!!

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.

Annette you are doing a fabulous job. I always knew that Raquel could cook - its just that she has never worked for an expat family. We have had the lovely omlette and her tomato and meatballs are so delicous! We do think that the course was an excellent investment :) Thanks for the update!

Hi Annette,
Thank you so much for your weekly updates for Rose. She has had a great time at Expat Kitchen and is now much more confident with her cooking. She returns home each week with great enthusiasm to try out her new dishes on the family.
She is already looking forward to her next course.
