Let’s bust a big myth: You do not need to be a Mic Let’s bust a big myth:
You do not need to be a Michelin‑starred chef to run a successful community cooking school.

In fact, most of the women who thrive in this kind of business are not:
* restaurant chefs
* TV personalities
* or people who plate food with tweezers
They’re women who:
* cook real food, really well
* can explain things simply
* stay calm when the kitchen gets chaotic
* make people feel welcome the second they walk through the door

Community cooking isn’t about perfect foam or fancy jus.�It’s about:
* teaching kids and adults skills they’ll use every single day
* helping families feel more confident in the kitchen
* creating a space where people connect over food, not performance

If you can:
* follow and adapt recipes
* keep a kitchen organised
* communicate clearly
* and genuinely enjoy feeding people
…you already have the foundation for a profitable cooking school.�
The ‘star’ isn’t the chef.�It’s the impact you create in your community.”
�Do you still feel like you need to be ‘more qualified’, or is this shifting how you see your own skills?” 👩‍🍳 #puddingandpie #lovecooking #cookingclasses #beyourownboss #kidscooking

I’ve got the absolute privilege of being a judge f I’ve got the absolute privilege of being a judge for the Class Business Awards this year… and I wanted to share something with you.

I know how many incredible class-based businesses are out there quietly doing life-changing work every single week.

The baby groups.
The children’s clubs.
The dance schools.
The tutors.
The fitness and creative sessions.

You’re not just “running classes”…
You’re building confidence, creating connection, and shaping communities.

I know that a lot of that goes unseen.

That’s why these awards matter.
Not for the trophy… but for the recognition this whole industry deserves.

So if you’ve been thinking about entering this is your nudge.

Put yourself forward.
Share your story.
Let your impact be seen.

Deadline is 30th April.

And if a little voice is saying “I’m not ready” or “I’m not big enough”…
I can promise you those are often the exact people who should be applying
