MiniChefs Club

Hi Everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all have had a brilliant Christmas and everyone is happy to be back to school and some routine (personally I’m missing all the cheese!!)

It’s been a crazy first week back but I have been working on the first set of workshops for 2026.

I’m going to go live with them on the website at 6pm on Friday 9th Jan.

There will be some of the regular Saturday morning workshops, but also some workshops during February half term. These will be a mixture of 2.5 hours and the full cooking day from 10-4pm

Set your alarms if you want to book on, there are 6 MiniChefs per workshop and spaces always go quickly!

If you have any vouchers that you would like to use please pop me a message with your voucher numbers so I can pull all of your info out (I’m working on getting the website changed so that at the point of booking you can enter your voucher number but I haven’t managed to get that completed in this time frame).

UPDATE - spaces now all gone! If you would like more information please email Michelle@MiniChefsclub.co.uk I’m collating information for a potential additional class!

Calling all teens!

In my 10 years of running MiniChefs Club I have picked up some experience in the benefits of spending time in the kitchen.

👩‍🍳Independence & Real-Life Skills
Cooking means teens don’t have to rely on take-always or others. They learn how to take care of themselves — a huge win for adulthood.

👩‍🍳 Confidence That Carries Over
Nailing a recipe = instant confidence. That confidence spills into school, social life, and trying new things.

👩‍🍳Better Choices, Better Health
When teens know how food works, they make smarter choices, understand nutrition, and feel more in control of what they eat.

👩‍🍳 Creativity Without Screens
Cooking is hands-on, expressive, and fun. It’s one of the few creative activities that doesn’t involve staring at a screen — and you get to eat the result

👩‍🍳 Teamwork & Social Skills
Cooking together builds communication, patience, and collaboration. It’s social without being awkward.

👩‍🍳 Career & Passion Discovery
Some teens discover a real passion — whether it’s becoming a chef, food creator, entrepreneur, or just being the friend who cooks.

👩‍🍳 Bonus: It’s Cool
Let’s be real — being able to cook is a flex! Friends notice. Parents appreciate it. Future roommates will thank them!

I have some space to join our Wednesday gang, we start at 7pm and finish at 8.15pm and each week we alternate between a sweet and savoury dish.

The cost is £60 per month which includes, aprons, all ingredients and take home boxes.

We start back on 7th Jan - message me to secure your space!

It’s almost time…

I hope all of your MiniChefs have settled back into school life and we are all enjoying some sort of routine after a summer of fun. I had such a great time running all of the workshops, we maked and baked some really delicious dishes and it was lovely to see some new faces as well as the returning MiniChefs who always bring the enthusiasm and passion!

I've been working on the workshop calendar for the rest of the year. I have 4 Halloween specific workshops as well as 2 Saturday morning workshops in October and November before we start the Christmas workshops on Saturday 29th November (these will go live on 1st November)

So what's coming up?

Jelly Cat Cupcakes
Sat 4th Oct

Halloween Brownies
Wed 29th Oct

Halloween Haunted House Cake
Thurs 30th Oct

Halloween Biscuit Sandwiches
Fri 31st Oct

Halloween Spider Cupcakes
Sat 1st Nov

Chicken Curry
22nd Nov

All workshops start at 10am and finish at 12.30pm and are available to anyone aged 6 years and above. Each workshop can only take 6 MiniChefs so be sure to put the reminder in your calendars to avoid missing out on a place.
I provide all aprons, ingredients, drinks, snacks and take home boxes so there is nothing for your MiniChef to bring aside from themselves!
Workshops are priced at £25.00

I have left some space in my diary for private workshops. These are becoming increasingly popular and allow a group of friends to get together and make or bake something they all love. It's a great way to spend 2 hours and gives you some time to spend with other children, or just by yourself whilst you wait for your goods to come home hot and ready to eat. Drop me an email if you would like more information or to secure a date during the Half Term holidays.

SET YOUR ALARMS!

10 years ago today I opened the doors to MiniChefs Club 🎈It’s not often that we give ourselves a pat on the back is it? But, today that’s exactly what I’m doing as I’m super proud of myself and my small business. I couldn’t imagine where I would be when I opened the doors for my first lesson on Tuesday 15th Sept 2015. Originally I started with 3 after school club sessions a week. Now, I still have those 3 sessions (which means I have a lot of recipes!) but I also have 10 1:1 lessons a week for Home Educated MiniChefs, workshops on a Saturday morning, birthday parties, school holiday cooking camps, annual Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Skills programmes and this year I’ve started to work with a great company as a consultant for Nutrition within Young Adult with Learning Disabilities Care Homes which is something that I’ve become just as passionate about.

There is also the small matter of keeping my business going during a pandemic; I personally delivered boxes of ingredients which has now turned into the MiniChefs Make It Box.

Now the self indulgence is over, it goes without saying that I couldn’t do any of this without any followers, without any recommendations, without any bookings, without any reviews. I say this on a regular basis, but I truly mean it; I am so grateful for every single person that does any of the above for MiniChefs Club. Over the last 10 years, I have been able to attend every school assembly, every sports day, every parents evening and have been available to take my Twinnies to school every day (which we all know in reality means I just shout at everyone to hurry up every morning!) but, the fact that I have been around to do that rather than travelling to another part of the country with my laptop and files (as I did in a previous life) means the absolute world to me.

I’ve no idea what the next 10 years hold, hopefully they won’t fly by as quickly as the last 10 but I’m super excited for whatever lies in the future.

Happy Birthday MiniChefs Club, you absolute gem! ❤️
