Megan and her partner are self-described foodies who already knew their way around the kitchen, but wanted to dig deeper into technique and flavour building so we cooked up a private class that was just for them! And I think it’s safe to say, they loved it! 🥰

That’s the beauty of private cook schools; they’re tailored to you. Whether you’re a confident home cook or a complete beginner, we start where you’re at and build from there.

From knife skills and sauces to plating tips and prep flow — it’s all covered, with as many little extras as I can sneak in. (Because you know me — it wouldn’t be a “Yum with Prue” experience without a few special touches 😉)

I love what I do, and it’s so rewarding helping people feel more confident and creative in the kitchen.

📍Small group cook schools run from my home kitchen in Taupō, and make a great experience gift too. Enquire now at [email protected] 💌
