Hey good-looking, what you got cooking?

In Joudie Kalla’s case, rather a lot.

One of London’s most personable chefs (and possibly one of the prettiest), Kalla offers bespoke cookery parties for adults, teens and children, either in her Kensington kitchen or your own kitchen/party venue. Having worked under Gordon Ramsay at Pengelley’s, then Daphne’s and Papillon, she’s highly qualified and wonderfully patient.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hen night or family gathering, Kalla will direct the event. You cook what you like. You can rustle up mini cheese souffles followed by roast beef and warm chocolate pudding; kids will enjoy making cupcakes and brownies or organic pasta and cheesy toast. Children receive chef hats, aprons and certificates in sweetie-filled goodie bags on departure, and everyone gets boxes of whatever they’ve made during the three-hour session.

You’ll do plenty of cooking.

So stop looking and get booking.
