MiniChefs is an after school cooking club for children aged from 6 years old based in Langdon Hills. I’m Michelle, a Mum to twin girls, Ava & Amelia.
You can also order a monthly baking kit to be delivered to you or someone as a gift. MiniChefs Club is an after school cooking club based from my home in Langdon Hills for all children from 5 years old. I have a passion for all things in the kitchen and spend a lot of time cooking with my girls. I want to give children the opportunity to learn about food & nutrition in an educational and fun way.
I believe learning some basic cooking skills can promote independence and the satisfaction of seeing a finished dish will do wonders for their self-esteem! They won’t even realise they are polishing their numeracy & literacy skills with the counting, measuring and recipe reading! You can also subscribe to a monthly baking delivery. Each month a box will be delivered through your letter box containing all of the dry ingredients, you will just need to add a few extras from your fridge (butter, eggs for example) to complete the bake. Your box comes with a gift and full recipe card to follow. Order via the website at minichefsclub.co.uk

Yesterday was a 10-4pm cooking workshop. These amazing MiniChefs made a dessert to take home, their own quesadillas lunch and then dinner from scratch. Mums and Dads got to have a night away from the kitchen thanks to these super stars! 😊

Life lately …
I’ve been a little quiet as ourTwinnies turned 17 so we’ve been celebrating 🎉
Every year we host a BBQ for them where all our favourites show up. It’s always such a gorgeous occasion filled with lots of love, and, is a get together that’s really special to me. It’s changed over the years from bouncy castles and garden fun with all those gorgeous little ones running around bare foot to now towering over all of the adults but it’s always a huge part of our calendar and we love hosting it.
With the celebrations over I’m returning to work this week and looking forward to my private lessons and 2 days of workshops!
I’ll be working on the Summer Cooking Camp workshops during over the next few weeks as they will go live on Friday 13th June!

Of course you can always DM me on here or email through to me at [email protected] but this will enable you to share with anyone or add people that you think would like to see this information.
The link below should take you through to join!
Happy Friday!
PS: Fathers Day workshops will be live at 6pm tonight!
Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colours, there are only so many flavours—it’s how you combine them that sets you apart” – Wolfgang Puck
These are my fab MiniChefs yesterday putting their colours together on paper whilst their flavours came together in the oven ❤️

I have seen I have quite a few new followers so I thought I would pop out a little bit about me and all things MiniChefs Club!
I’m Michelle, Wife to Mr MiniChef who built my dream 10 years ago this year, Mumma to my Twinnies 💖💖 who are loving life as Year 12 students, and, after a big birthday I’m the other side of 50 and feeling pretty fab about it!
After running late to too many sports days/Christmas plays etc I decided to leave the boardroom and spend my time doing something I really love .
Since 2015 I’ve managed to combine my two biggest passions; children and food. So what can you do at MiniChefs Club?
👩🍳 join an after school cooking club
👩🍳 attend a workshop on a Saturday morning or during the school holidays
👩🍳 book a birthday party to come along have the best fun baking & making with your friends
👩🍳 order a Make It Box so you can enjoy all the fun at home
👩🍳 schedule a private cooking lesson for any home schoolers
👩🍳 complete your Duke Of Edinburgh skills programme
MiniChefs Club is available to all children from age 5 - my eldest is currently 21 years old and is more Master than Mini but she has been coming for 8 years and I still have a MiniChef since day 1 so it’s really available to all ages, if anyone has a passion to learn they are more than welcome in my kitchen!
Thanks for following along, I often forget to post to the main grid, mostly you can see me on stories but the best way to always make sure you’re kept up to date is to join the mailing list over at MiniChefsclub.co.uk

MiniChefs Club has been running since September 2015 and is carried out from a cabin in my garden that has been turned into a kitchen. I start from age 5 for a maximum of 6 children. I supply all aprons, ingredients and take home boxes; the children make everything themselves, from scratch. At the after school club we alternate between a sweet & savoury dish every week; classes start at 4pm and finish at 5.15pm with the food cooked, ready to take home and eat. The after school club is charged at £42.05 per calender month.
As well as the after school club I run themed workshops a Saturday, these are longer at 2.5 hours starting either at 10am or 2pm and priced at £25.00 I have all workshops listed via my events section on the MiniChefs page.
If you would like any further information or would like to come and take a look at the kitchen at anytime, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
