Hi, I am Marina Berry, John's wife.   I am a qualified chef and have been in the catering business over 25 years.  Food has always been a passion of mine.  From a very young age I can remember being in the kitchen with my mum looking through recipes and helping to make cakes, or whatever it was for dinner that evening. I didn't realise it at the time but I was picking up basic cooking tips.  My love of food just grew from there, and whenever I could I would be at home cooking

I worked in a bakery for over 8 years and learned the basics of bread making and cake making.  I would also make wedding cakes, learning to ice them with royal icing, before sugar paste became popular.  I learned sugarcraft, making flowers out of sugar, and I went on to make wedding and birthday cakes and formed my own business known as 'Cakes of Distinction'. I also made cakes for a local coffee shop. 

I am eager for other people to learn how to cook correctly, and  in addition to gaining food knowledge I would love more than anything to pass on my passion and enthusiasm to others.  I will show you how cooking is actually a very exciting and enjoyable experience and how you could woo your family, friends and guests.

Whether you are looking to book a cooking lesson for yourself on a one to one basis; with a group of friends; for your children as you send them off to University; for your little one's birthday party,  please get in touch.  The aim of our service is to fit with your needs and requirements.   

Happy cooking.
