The Deelitefull Approach

Learn how to cook nutritious and healthy food in your own kitchen with Dee. Dee's cookery classes are a great way to learn to cook in a place you feel most comfortable...at home!!

I am a Ballymaloe trained cook and a qualified nutritional therapist. I believe everyone can cook, just like everyone can learn to ride a bike. It just takes a little bit of practice and for someone to show you how.  

Deelitefull 3 hour cooking lessons take place in the comfort of your home kitchen amongst friends or family using your own equipment. I offer a range of classes to suit everyone from complete beginners to long-time cooks. So why not invite a few friends over to yours and learn to cook in a relaxing and fun way. All ingredients are provided by me.

The Classes

Lessons are approximately 3 hours and very interactive. A range of set classes are available (see menu on the left) or you can design your own. All classes are available as a once off or as a series of classes. However for certain classes, it is more worthwhile to take them as a series so you can receive the most out of them.
